Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh wished his former national team skipper Sourav Ganguly on his 48th birthday on Wednesday (July 8).

The former star allrounder took to social media to share a video of him talking about Ganguly's immense contribution to Indian cricket.

It was also under the Sourav's captaincy, Yuvi made his debut for the Men In Blue and went on to achieve several accolades with the national side.

"Happy Birthday to the undisputed Dada of Indian Cricket. You have always led from the front, showing us what it means to be a true leader. I have learnt a lot from you & hope to become to others what you are to me. You are our eternal captain @SGanguly99 #HappyBirthdayDada," Yuvraj wrote on Twitter.

In the video, Yuvraj says: "This message is for our dear and eternal captain, Sourav Ganguly. Dada, it's your birthday. It's been a great journey under you. You were my biggest support. All of us youngsters needed the support in the start."

"Thank you for that. I remember when you gave me the BCCI acknowledgment trophy for playing 300 ODIs in Edgbaston, I told you that day that without your support, this wouldn't have been possible. When you got familiar with me, Viru, Bhajji, Zak, Nehra, we played a lot of pranks on you," he added.

HERE IS THE POST:

There is no bigger polariser in Indian cricket than Sourav Ganguly. His fans may consider him the 'Royal Bengal Tiger' who changed the face of Indian cricket, but there is no dearth of his detractors. He is often criticised for being a selfish batsman. Some have called him uncourteous, stubborn, and arrogant as well. He was surely not the most athletic of players Indians have produced. 

However, love him or hate him, you can't imagine Indian cricket without him.
