Having represented the national cricket team in 113 Tests and 311 ODIs, Ganguly has been one of the most successful Indian captains.
Leading the Men in Blue to the famous Natwest triumph in 2002, Ganguly was instrumental in instilling confidence and aggression in the Indian side -- a quality that they lacked.
BCCI was early to wish its ex-captain a happy birthday. "Here's wishing former #TeamIndia Captain @SGanguly99 a very happy birthday. #HappyBirthdayDada," BCCI tweeted.
Happy birthday @SGanguly99! Hope you have a #Royal day! #HappyBirthdayDada
The International Cricket Council (ICC) was also quick to write on its twitter handle. Happy Birthday to one of @BCCI's finest batsmen of the 21st century, Sourav Ganguly!
Anil Kumble, who shared the Indian dressing room with the'Prince of Kolkata', also wished 'Dada', as Ganguly is fondly called. "Happy birthday dada @SGanguly99 have a great year ahead! God bless!"
IPL franchises like Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals also wished the left-handed batsman on the auspicious day.
"Happy birthday to the man who captained #IND in 49 Test matches & won 21 of them(11 oversea wins). #HappyBirthdayDada," MI wrote on twitter.
Happy birthday @SGanguly99! Hope you have a #Royal day! #HappyBirthdayDada," RR tweeted.
