Pratham UK set to host an evening with legend cricketer Sourav Ganguly  

Pratham UK are delighted to be hosting an evening on the 12th of June at Lord’s Cricket Ground with legendary former cricketer, Sourav Ganguly.  

Sourav Ganguly, also known as “Dada,” is celebrated as one of India’s most successful cricket captains and one of the greatest left-handed batsmen in the history of Indian cricket. 

In addition to his outstanding cricket career, Sourav has been a strong advocate for education through his philanthropic commitments. Working towards providing educational opportunities for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through his charity, the Sourav Ganguly Foundation as well as supporting other education initiatives such as Pratham UK’s literacy foundational skills programmes for children in India. 

As well as being an exciting evening for our fellow cricket enthusiasts, the event will be a great networking opportunity for guests to discover more about how Pratham is changing lives through learning.

During the evening, Pratham UK will host a conversation with Sourav where guests will be able to submit their burning questions about his career, his charitable work, future projects and more. 

Guests will also have the opportunity to take part in a live auction which will raise funds to sustain and grow Pratham’s incredible education programmes across India. 

The auction lots will include signed and framed cricket memorabilia, a signed and framed Chelsea FC first team jersey, IND-PAK Category A Cricket World Cup tickets, 151st Golf Open Championship package and Fred’s signed Manchester United FC jersey (2022-23).   

Sakate Khaitan, Chairman of Pratham UK, said: “Sourav Ganguly’s contribution to Indian cricket, both as a player and an administrator, has left an indelible mark on the sport. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential and successful captains in Indian cricket history and we’re absolutely thrilled that he is lending his support to help fundraise for Pratham’s school programmes in India. It’s going to be a fantastic evening and we look forward to welcoming Sourav and all our wonderful guests on the night.”
