Sourav in 1999, 2003 world cup cricket

Sourav played total 18 matches, in first two world cups in England and South Africa.; he scored 844 runs with an impressive average of 56.26 with 4 century and one half century. His 183against Sri Lanka in Taunton, South Africa is the highest world cup score in one day cricket.
If we go little deeper we will see that he did better in second world cup in South Africa with a great average of 63 in 10 matches compared to England where in 7 matches he achieved an average quite impressive although - 54.14

As a captain, his batting average is better (58.12) than the average (54.14) when he was a non captain. It clearly manifests the very fact that he is always a big tournament player and big challenge motivates him immensely.
Despite abysmal Indian performance in 2007 world cup, Sourav was one amongst very few players who scored runs consistently in three group league matches.
