A Facebook video posted by Anirban Charan showed former Indian cricketing captain Sourav Ganguly indulging himself in some gully cricket in Kolkata, enthralling his awestruck fellow players with some of his trademark shots.

While it must have been a new platform for the 44-year-old, for his fans it was yet another opportunity to watch Ganguly with the willow, almost a decade after his retirement from international cricket.
