KOLKATA: Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly's first coach and grandfather Sachidananda Chatterjee died of cardiac arrest at his residence here on Monday.

He was 86 and is survived by a son and daughter.

His son Arup Chatterjee said, ``My father was Sourav's first coach. Sourav got his first lessons of the game from him.''

``Even today he looked up to his grandfather for advice. My father was a friend, philosopher and guide to Maharaj (Sourav),'' he said.

Chatterjee, a widower, has been the vice-president of Cricket Association of Bengal and Indian Football Association. He was ill for the last two months after a cerebral attack.— UNI
