"I started my cricketing life here at the age of 14, and got a century here against Odisha. It is a ground which has never disappointed me. I've not lost a match as Test captain. Obviously the one against Australia is very very special," Ganguly said remembering the epic win against Australia in 2002.
The former left-hander led India in four Tests at the Eden Gardens and won all the matches here. He said he overcame his biggest scare by finally scoring a century against Pakistan in 2007, a year before he called it quits.
Sharing an anecdote, Ganguly said: "Not only us, it's special to all the cricketers. I remember Alastair Cook asking me whether they're playing any Test at the Eden?"
"I've seen the ground transform and I still prefer the old one because of its vastness," Ganguly said on the sidelines of the digital book launch of Raju Mukherjee's 'Eden Gardens--Legend and Romance'.
"A book on Eden will always be special. It's a ground which has been very very close to all of us," Ganguly concluded.
