Sourav Ganguly

Kolkata: Sourav Ganguly yesterday survived a scare at his very own Eden Gardens when the club house lift of more than 29 years old malfunctioned and the former India captain had to be pulled out using a stool on the eve of the second Test versus New Zealand. On his way to his office on the first floor, the oldmanually operated grill door lift got stuck between the two levels and the securitymen quickly got into action to avoid any mishap. “We quickly disconnected the power and manually opened the door. A stool was lowered inside and Dada came out,” said a security official.
