All about the Sourav Ganguly car accident situation

On Thursday, February 20, former India captain and ex-BCCI President Sourav Ganguly narrowly escaped a potential accident on the Durgapur Expressway near Dantanpur while en route to Burdwan for an event. Ganguly was traveling in a Range Rover, accompanied by a convoy of cars. The incident occurred when a lorry suddenly overtook his vehicle, prompting the driver to apply the brakes abruptly. This unexpected maneuver caused a chain reaction, with the cars trailing behind colliding with one another.

Fortunately, the accident did not result in any casualties or injuries, and the damage to the vehicles involved was not significant. Despite the shock and potential danger of the situation, Ganguly and those with him were unharmed. The quick response from the drivers and their ability to manage the situation ensured that no one sustained serious harm. This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of road travel and how quickly situations can change. Ganguly, who has had a successful career both on and off the cricket field, was fortunate to escape the ordeal without any personal harm. As for the others involved, the accident was a close call, but thanks to their quick reactions, the aftermath was less severe than it could have been.

In January, Sourav Ganguly's daughter, Sana, was involved in a minor accident when a bus reportedly hit her car on Kolkata’s Diamond Harbour Road. Fortunately, the car only suffered slight damage, and Sana escaped without any injuries. Earlier in February, the 2002 Champions Trophy-winning captain, Sourav Ganguly, was in Burdwan for an event at Burdwan University. During his visit, Ganguly engaged with students and staff, sharing insights into the future of Indian cricket. He also recounted memorable stories from his illustrious cricketing career, providing a rare opportunity for the university community to hear firsthand experiences from one of India's greatest cricketing icons.

This visit was part of Ganguly's ongoing efforts to connect with the younger generation and inspire them with his journey, both on and off the field. Despite the accident involving his daughter, the family’s well-being remained unaffected, and Ganguly's focus remained on his engagement with the students, reinforcing his deep connection with the cricketing community and his role in shaping the future of Indian cricket.

“I am overwhelmed. It feels great to be in Burdwan. I am even more happy that you invited me. BDS (Burdwan Sports Association) was asking me to come for a long time. It feels great to be here today," said former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly in a recent interview. 

Sourav Ganguly was recently seen with the Delhi Capitals Women’s squad in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). He has been associated with the franchise across multiple T20 leagues, including the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the International League T20 (ILT20). In the ILT20, Ganguly's team, Dubai Capitals, claimed their first-ever title by defeating Desert Vipers in the final by four wickets. This victory marked a significant milestone for the franchise in T20 leagues.

The Dubai Capitals were led by English wicketkeeper Sam Billings, who guided them to the coveted title. Ganguly's role in cricket has expanded beyond playing and mentoring. He previously served as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. In October 2024, Ganguly took on the role of Director of Cricket at JSW Sports, where he continues to make significant contributions to Indian cricket.
