Kolkata, March 03: Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly today joined the chorus in demanding Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest civilian award, to batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
“Sachin is a Bharat ratna. There is no doubt that he should be conferred the Bharat Ratna award,” Ganguly told reporters after the practice session of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Eden Gardens here.
The KKR skipper denied observation from some quarter that his side was weak in the bowling department.
“On the contrary, we have a strong bowling side. We have Shane Bond, Brad Hogg, Ishant Sharma, Ajantha Mendis, Ashok Dinda, Ajit Agarkar and Lakshmi Ratan Shukla.”
On the third wicket keeper of the IPL franchise, the KKR skipper said it would be decided soon.
