    "editor1": "<p><strong>July 9 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly on Monday turned 47 and social media websites were flooded with birthday wishes for the &#39;Bengal Tiger&#39;. But one of the best tributes came from former teammate Harbhajan Singh. The spinner said that it was due to Ganguly that India learnt to win abroad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taking to Twitter, Harbhjan wrote: &quot;Happy birthday TIGER My big brother @SGanguly99 The man who taught us how to win overseas..what a Legend.. Jeo dada jeo.. love u always (sic).&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With 11,363 runs in 311 ODIs, Ganguly is the overall third highest run-scorer for India in the 50-over-format. He also featured in 113 Test matches and scored 7,212 runs with an average of 42.17.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed batsman shared great camaraderie with Sachin Tendulkar and both went onto put together 6,609 runs in 136 matches, which included 21 century partnerships and 23 fifty-run partnerships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly, during his captaincy, ended Australia&#39;s famous winning run of 16 back-to-back Test matches in 2001 by winning the bilateral series 2-1 at home. And it was under Ganguly&#39;s leadership when India went on to feature in the World Cup Cup final for the second time in the 2003 quadrennial event where they lost to Australia.<\/p>\r\n",
