Sourav Ganguly Dismisses Election Rumours: 'Not Contesting, Not Surprised'
•Sourav Ganguly has denied rumours of him contesting the 2026 Assembly elections for Trinamool Congress.

•Despite visits from Mamata Banerjee and Amit Shah to his Behala residence, Sourav has consistently maintained a distance from politics.
•Currently in England, Sourav expressed annoyance but not surprise at the baseless rumours, stating, 'These things happen whenever elections approach.'
•He reiterated his long-standing position of never directly entering the political arena and is not paying heed to the unwarranted speculation.
