Why Has Sourav Ganguly Updated His Profile Picture To Completely Black?

Sourav Ganguly had earlier commented on the incident, but, as stated by the cricketer himself, "his words were taken out of context". The former left-handed batsman of India called the crime as 'stray incident', for which, he received bashing on social media.

"I said that last Sunday, I don't know how it was construed or interpreted. I have said it earlier also, it's a terrible thing. Now the CBI, police are investigating the matter. It's very shameful what has happened. The punishment should be such that no one dares to commit such crime again in their life. That is important. Punishment has to be severe," said Sourav Ganguly, as reported by NDTV Sports.

Sourav Ganguly is one of the greatest Indian players of all time, and comes under the category of arguably the greatest captains cricket has even seen. Commonly known, and fondly called as 'Dada', for a personality like him taking a stance in this case does drag in attention from social media users, and whatever is the statement, debates over social media do take place.
