In an exciting development for cricket and cinema enthusiasts alike, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has confirmed that acclaimed actor Rajkummar Rao will portray him in an upcoming biopic. During a recent media interaction in Bardhaman, West Bengal, Ganguly stated, “From what I’ve heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the role… but there are issues of dates… so it will take more than a year to hit the screens.”
Sourav Ganguly, often referred to as the “Prince of Kolkata,” had an illustrious cricketing career, representing India in 113 Test matches and 311 One Day Internationals (ODIs). He amassed a total of 18,575 runs across all formats and led the Indian team to 21 Test victories, including a memorable journey to the final of the 2003 ICC World Cup. Beyond his on-field achievements, Ganguly has served as the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and was appointed as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in October 2024.
