On Monday, Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of India, received formal recognition as the Tripura Tourism Brand Ambassador and extended an invitation to global visitors to the stunning state of Tripura.
The former captain of India declared that he would use social media to advertise Tripura and encourage people to visit its stunning locations. “I’ve been shown around this lovely location. I’ll be returning here as I’ve taken on the role of Tripura Tourism ambassador. Through social media, television, Facebook, and Instagram, we will promote Tripura,” Ganguly said to ANI on Monday.
Ganguly was named Tripura Tourism’s brand ambassador back in May, when Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha made the announcement. Furthermore, after Ganguly accepted the offer, Saha spoke with him over the phone. “We are extremely proud that Shri Sourav Ganguly Ji, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, has agreed to serve as Tripura Tourism’s brand ambassador. I spoke with him over the phone today. The state’s tourism industry will undoubtedly benefit from Shri Ganguly Ji’s participation, I’m sure of it,” Tripura Chief Minister tweeted.
When Tripura Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury visited Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, at his Behala home, he offered him the position of brand ambassador, which he gladly accepted. During his time on the pitch, the former captain of India was recognised for his unique style of leadership. He was dubbed “Dada” after making his Test debut against England in the summer of 1996. At Lord’s, he made headlines shortly after hitting a century in his debut Test match.
Dada represented India in 311 One-Day Internationals and 113 Tests. Throughout his career, the left-handed batsman scored 18,575 runs in all formats for his country. One of the primary forces behind the concept of day-night Test cricket in India is Ganguly. His efforts were rewarded in 2019 when India and Bangladesh played the first-ever day-night Test match at the Eden Gardens.
