A video that has gone viral since it was released shows how much Ganguly is having fun. In the video, Ganguly and his loved ones can be seen dancing close to the famous London Eye. In front of his wife Dona and daughter Sana, Ganguly was seen busting some moves.

Ganguly was posting pictures of himself celebrating his special day on Instagram and Twitter. He was joined by Sachin Tendulkar, a close friend and legendary Indian batsman.

In addition to being India's and the world's most successful opening pair in ODIs, Tendulkar and Ganguly have remained close friends ever since their Under-15 years.

One of India's best captains, Ganguly, is still well known for his contributions to the country's cricket team. After taking over the team in 2000, when the match-fixing scandal rocked Indian cricket and the rest of the world, Ganguly led the team into a new era and introduced match-winners like Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, and Zaheer Khan.

After a 16-year career and over 18,500 runs scored internationally, Ganguly retired in 2008. He ranks fourth among Indian players in ODIs, behind Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma in terms of the number of centuries they have scored. With victories over the then-dominant Australians, Indian cricket reached incredible heights while he served as captain.
