... has arrived for Sourav Ganguly. He has got exactly the kind of opportunity he would have been hoping for. To prove he can still make a difference to this Indian side, to make the kind of contributions no one else can. A hundred, if he had got one in the run-glut at Lahore would have probably meant nothing, but a hundred here can virtually ensure a decent first innings lead for India, and that all that has happened in the past 5 months is history. It will probably also signal his reuniting with his best friend Rahul Dravid ala estranged brothers coming together in Hindi movies. For the stakes simply cannot get bigger than this.
On the other hand, a failure here will almost certainly signal the end of his career.
Will Ganguly be up to it ??
Will, as Siddharth Vaidyanathan on Cricinfo asks, there be a romantic twist to this fascinating tale ??

I think its unfair to put surav under so much pressure.anyways 35 runs on this pitch is equilvalent to around 70 on that run glut pitch at lahore.He bowled pretty well too.he has got starts in all the last 3 inningns hes played just has to carry on.it would have made more sense to play him inthe one day series ocz he is loking in form and one day cricket is his stronger point and also hes got a good one day recored against pak with both bat and ball.But our ego maniac coach and selctors think that people like rao , raina are murali kartik are better one day cricketers then someone line kumble or saurav.
