Both legends thus ended their Test careers with a first-ball duck.

Rahul Dravid, Ganguly's longtime teammate and close friend, once famously remarked that Ganguly's batting on the off-side was 'next to God', a testament to Ganguly's elegant stroke play, particularly his cover drives and square cuts.

Jason Krejza, the Australian off-spinner, dismissed Sourav Ganguly for a duck in Ganguly's final Test innings at Nagpur in 2008. This was Krejza's debut Test match, where he took 12 wickets. Brett Lee (A) was Krejza's bowling partner but did not take Ganguly's wicket in that innings.
