Sourav Ganguly Tuesday lauded Mahendra Singh Dhoni for becoming the most successful Indian Test captain, surpassing his record, and hoped that the Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman would be able to carry his showing in the coming foreign engagements. Dhoni\'s record is praiseworthy. Twenty-two Test wins is not a small achievement. And the success against Australia has come against the backdrop of the not-so-good times he went through in the last two years, said Ganguly. However, he linked the stints of former captains as also that of Dhoni to a relay race where each skipper carried the baton forward.

Kolkata: Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly on Monday welcomed the national selectors\' decision to recall off-spinner Harbhajan Singh for the first two Tests of the upcoming series against Australia. It\'s a good decision to bring him back into the side. I\'ve always been hopeful of Bhajji. But it\'s up to the skipper (MS Dhoni) whether he would play in the XI, Ganguly said at Eden Gardens after the CAB\'s working committee meeting.
Former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has gone before the Calcutta High Court and challenged a service tax claim of over Rs three crore, which was charged during his term with the Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL and playing for Team India. While the original claim is of Rs 1.51 crore for the period between April, 2006 and March, 2010, another Rs 1.51 crore is in the form of 100 per cent penalty on the amount, which we have challenged before the high court, said his counsel Amitava Mitra from the law firm Sinha and Company.
