Ganguly wound up a glittering test career in the best possible fashion on Monday, skippering the Indian team for one last time as they beat Australia by 172 runs to win the fourth and final test in Nagpur and with it the series against the world champions 2-0. It was Australia's first series defeat since the 2-1 reverse in the 2005 Ashes against England.
Ganguly bows out after 113 test matches - 49 of them as captain. Ganguly will be forever known to his fans as "Dada", and goes into retirement with another stalwart of the team, 38 year-old Anil Kumble.
