London/IBNS: Former Indian captain and current cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly, who has donned many caps in his still-active career, is celebrating his 50th birthday on Friday.

The birthday boy, who was spotted hanging out with master blaster and colleague Sachin Tendulkar in the UK, is all over the Internet more with a dance video of him near the iconic London Eye.

In the video, a chilled-out Ganguly could be seen ringing in his birthday dancing to Bollywood hit numbers like the very popular song 'Om Shanti Om' with friends and family in the UK.

The short clip, which has now gone viral, also shows how his daughter Sana, embarrassed as the BCCI president danced his heart out.

Ganguly, who is credited for changing the face of Indian cricket in a span of five-six years from 2000-2005, called off his international career in 2008 playing a four-match Test series against Australia at home.

However, instead of taking it slow, Ganguly plunged into a more active life initially turning into a cricket commentator and eventually becoming the BCCI chief.

Besides, post-retirement, he also made his television debut as he turned host for the very popular Bengali quiz show 'Dadagiri Unlimited' which runs successfully season-wise every year.
