London, Aug 13 (IANS): The first day of the second Test at Lord's saw BCCI president Sourav Ganguly marking his presence. Ganguly was spotted alongside BCCI secretary Jay Shah, vice-president Rajeev Shukla, UK Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and later with former England captain Geoffrey Boycott enjoying the performance by the Indian team against England.

Ganguly, who made a hundred on Test debut at Lord's in 1996, took to Instagram for posting a heart-warming message. He posted a collage of four pictures on his account showing the journey of the former India captain in four different roles - batsman, captain, winning captain and BCCI chief at Lord's.

"Came here as player first in 1996... and then as captain... enjoyed the game at Lord's today as an administrator... India was and is in a good position all the times... this game of cricket is majestic," read Ganguly's caption on his Instagram post.

The account of Lord's Cricket ground, named 'homeofcricket', replied to Ganguly's post, which said, "Great to have you back at Lord's, Sourav."
