The man of the moment on Day II at the Eden Gardens was most definitely local boy Sourav Ganguly who finally gave the crowd what they most wanted- a century. CNN-IBN's Source spoke to the King of Kolkata right after his knock.
Source: How does it feel scoring a century at the Eden Gardens? Sourav Ganguly: It feels good getting a 100 anywhere in Tests. But obviously at Eden Gardens, where I have played most of my cricket, it's special.
Source: How would you rate your century? Is the Lord's one better or this one?
Sourav Ganguly: It is difficult to say. Every 100 has its own importance but as I said getting a 100 at Eden, my home ground, is different.
Source: Is the Indian team sensing victory as it has put a huge total?
Sourav Ganguly: Obviously we will try and force a win as there are still three days in the Test. It is a deteriorating wicket; it will turn a lot as the match goes on. It is going to wear and is not going to be the same. It has been probably at its best on the first two days and will play well tomorrow. The spinners will come into play on the fourth and the fifth day.
Source: In the last Test here India beat Australia. How do you see that Test and this match?
Sourav Ganguly: They are two different Test matches. It was even more special as we were down and out. From that stage to come and win a Test match, nobody expected it. But in this Test match we are on the top and if spinners bowl well, I am sure we will win.
Source: Gary Kirsten will be appointed as the new coach. How do you see it?
Sourav Ganguly: Well, I have played cricket with him. As a player he was fantastic and good wishes will be with him as a coach and I hope that together we can make India successful.
