Saurav Ganguly : Perfect role model

Today Saurav Ganguly is playing in his 100th test. Not many gave him a chance to do so, atleast I never thought that he will play again. But there he is at MCG, standing tall amongst equals, getting ready to prove yet another point.
A few years back (during the time when he was dropped) he was featured in an ad campaign for some product, I dont remember the product, but that ad campaign was special for more than one reason. It was probably the first time that he publicly accepted that he felt low and humilated, that he was working hard and still dreamt of playing for India. I laughed at him, thinking that he said all that (public acceptance of his failure) because he was getting money for doing so. Probably, I was right. May be he actually did it for money. But, to his credit, He did what he said. And this is what winners do. They walk the talk.
