Is Bengal Tiger an endangered species?

When India raced to a quick win over Sri Lanka in Mohali on Friday night, the talking point of the day remained. Selectors were to decide on the return of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. Officially their task was to announce the team for the next three one-dayers.
The case for the return of Ganguly was projected to be a strong one. He had done everything selectors had asked him to do. Within a week his tennis elbow mysteriously vanished, he proved his fitness and in his trial game he succeeded. Ganguly, while leading East Zone, hit a century against North Zone in the Duleep Trophy.
Oh, he is in form, screamed the Maharaja’s network. The important question is, so what?
So are the rest of the players. VVS Laxman is in form, Gautam Gambhir is in form, Sachin Tendulkar is in form and Rahul Dravid is in form.
And crucially India are winning. Suddenly India, ranked No7, are pummeling the second-ranked side in the world. More than the mere victories, the manner in which they were fashioned held the key to winning the Ganguly argument.
Now Ganguly can’t do anything which cannot be done better by the current Indian team.
So why Ganguly? Why not someone else? May be a few young fellas, who can blend into the grand design of Rahul Dravid and Greg Chappell.
Selection committee chairman Kiran More had to admit it. “He (Ganguly) is a great player. But things are not going his favour.”
But gentlemen, things are, for once, are going in India’s favour.
Can we ask for more?
