Bardhaman: Former Indian cricketer and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly escaped a serious accident on Tuesday after his vehicle met with an accident involving a lorry on the Durgapur Expressway. Thankfully, Ganguly was safe, and there were no major injuries.
The incident occurred while Ganguly was on his way to Bardhaman in his convoy. A lorry came out of nowhere and hit his car, for a brief moment making the vehicle lose control. But thanks to the swift action of his driver, who instantly slammed on the brakes, a big accident was averted.
In spite of the crash, Ganguly’s vehicle did not experience much damage, and he drove on after the situation was contained. The authorities were notified regarding the accident, and an inquiry is ongoing to find out the actual reason for the crash.
Sourav Ganguly, affectionately referred to as “Dada,” is India’s most iconic cricketer. As a former Indian cricket team captain, he played a key role in revolutionizing Indian cricket with his aggressive captaincy. A left-handed batsman and one of India’s best openers, Ganguly went on to become the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), contributing even more to the growth of the sport in India.
Supporters and well-wishers of the cricketing legend were relieved to see that he is safe, with many of them taking to social media to wish him well.
