Kolkata: Even as Sourav Ganguly's glorious batting career came to an end on Sunday with a duck in Nagpur, a Kolkata-based musical band has come up with songs to mark his achievements.
Orchid, the musical Bangla band, has composed several songs to glorify Ganguly's 13-year cricket career during which he earned many an accolade.

The band members have given an everlasting salute to him through their music.
Their verses hail his fighting spirit, his mental toughness and leadership quality.
"The Jaago India Jaago song, which we did for Sourav got an overwhelming response for it. The current song Sourav Aamaader Gaurav, which we are composing, is for his farewell. We hope Bengal is going to love this song," said Tanvi Dutta, a member of the band.
Band members say Sourav's captaincy, his leadership qualities, and never-say-die attitude during the ups and downs in his life, inspired them to compose the songs on him.
”Earlier, when he used to play, his team spirit was amazing. I am feeling bad that today would be his last game. Our band wishes that this game he should play with confidence and should score not only a century but also set a record so that all Bengalis feel proud of him. As a Bengali, I will always be proud of him," said Tanvi.

This Bangla band started its musical journey on June 1, 2003 and since then, these budding musicians have moved ahead with a motive to encourage Indian culture and heritage.
Orchid's specialty has been folk music and songs to spread modern social awareness.
During the 2007 World Cup, the band released an album Jaago India Jaago to cheer the India team and since then it became popular among the Bengali crowd.
