When former India skipper Sourav Ganguly was dropped from the rest of the Indian squad for the upcoming Irani Trophy, many felt that the selectors were biased, while the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who were equally miserable in the recent Sri Lanka tour, were retained in the Test team. Meanwhile, Anil Kumble was named captain of the team. Ganguly's omission from the Irani Cup squad, many argue was not wrong as his form in recent time has not been very impressive. But the question is why the same treatment shouldn't be given to Rahul and Sachin, who are out of form as well.
Is it time to bid adieu to one of the greatest Indian cricket legends who contributed to 17 Test victories abroad between November 2000 and 2008, when Ganguly became the captain, compared to 14 from 1932 to 2000? Do you think that the selectors of the team are unfair in dropping Ganguly from the Irani Cup squad?
