Top 10 selfless knocks in the history of cricket

8. Sourav Ganguly

When the name Sourav Ganguly is mentioned, the first image that comes to mind is of him waving his T-shirt in the air during the NatWest Trophy final at Lord’s.

But few people recall Sourav Ganguly’s great knock in the same match, which he played with a really selfless mentality. In the final, the Indian team had to chase down a 326-run target which seemed like an impossible hurdle to cross 19 years ago.

A fast start was essential to pull off a miracle. He, along with Virender Sehwag, batted aggressively from the start, scoring 106 in 14.3 overs when Ganguly fell for a quick 60 off 43 balls.
