High Five for Sourav the Skipper

When Sourav Ganguly walked to for the toss today he achieved a personal milestone. It was five years back that Ganguly first got the reins of the national team. Though he led the team in a one-day tournament at Toronto in 1999 but he officially got the hot seat on March 9, 2000 during a one-dayer against South Africa at Kochi. A look at the highs and low of the Ganguly era.
