Why Sourav Ganguly ranks #108 in Cricket
Sourav Ganguly ranks 108th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 628th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 84, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1992–2008 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes odi runs 11363, test runs 7212, odi centuries 22, tests as captain 49.
Immediately ahead sits Harmanpreet Kaur on 86.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Bishan Singh Bedi on 86.4. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
