Sourav Ganguly breaks into a dance with kids, celebrates ATK win
Former India captain grooves with glory, in rarely seen avatar
Mumbai: If you thought he can only take off his shirt in celebration, you were wrong, he is much more than that. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly almost broke into his old jig after Atletico De Kolkata (his football team in Indian Super League) scored the winner against Kerala Blasters FC here on Saturday.

Though he did not do a Lord’s (Natwest Trophy, 2002), it did not stop the Prince of Kolkata from breaking into a dance with kids – likely to be his daughter’s friends at his place – on Sunday.
Ganguly, when asked whether he wanted to take his shirt off, by a television channel. He replied: “No, I was a lot fitter back then, lot slimmer too.”
But looking at these pictures, one can see a different side of the beloved Dada. He is not always the ‘serious’ captain, the tough guy, he surely knows how to have his moments. Ganguly dancing is not new to many who have known him closely. One can also see a different dance form of his when he is celebrating Durga Puja with family members.
