Former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly recently celebrated the 25th anniversary for scoring a century on his Test debut in 1996. Ganguly became the first Indian cricketer to achieve this feat at Lord`s and his score stood as a record for 25 years.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly shared his views on why Test is the ultimate format of the game. "When we started playing cricket in our childhood, Test cricket was the ultimate cricket format and I think it still is the ultimate format. And that is why it is called Test cricket. I feel if a player wants to be successful and leave his/ her mark on the game, then Test cricket is the biggest platform one can get. People will remember those players forever, who play well and make runs in Test matches. If you see all the biggest names in cricket – all the greats – in the past 40-50 years; they’ve all had successful Test records," said Ganguly.
