Lost a giant of domestic cricket: Sourav Ganguly on Rajinder Goel's death

NEW DELHI: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly joined the cricket fans in mourning the death of Rajinder Goel, terming him a "giant of domestic cricket".
Ganguly was joined by secretary secretary Jay Shah and treasurer Arun Dhumal, both of whom condoled the death of former left-arm spinner who played for Patiala, Southern Punjab, Delhi and famously Haryana.
"The Indian cricketing community has lost a giant of domestic cricket today.His staggering record tells you about his craft and the control he had over it," Ganguly said in his condolence statement.
