Kolkata, November 21: Is the now-embittered relations between the Cricket Association of Bengal President Jagmohan Dalmiya and former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly on the mend? That's the question doing the rounds in cricketing circles in Kolkata after the duo had its first meeting in public nearly four months after the acrimonious CAB elections, where Ganguly had lent his support to the faction opposed to his one-time mentor Dalmiya.
None of the past rancour seemed to be there as the seasoned cricket administrator and the left handed batsman chatted over a cup of tea and Dalmiya expressed confidence that Ganguly would make his way back into the Indian team on the strength of his playing capabilities.
"Ganguly will be back into the team by dint of his capability. He will return for sure", Dalmiya said, while giving a pep talk to the Bengal team ahead of their Ranji Trophy match in Mohali against Punjab from November 23 to 26.
Dalmiya had taken the first step himself in breaking the ice when he asked Ganguly to sit next to him and the cricketer smilingly obliged.
