Ex-Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly says he has no special feeling going into the last Test of his career and is taking the Nagpur Test as just another game.

Days away from playing the last Test match of his distinguished career, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly on Monday said he was taking the Nagpur five-dayer as just another game.

"There is no special feeling going into the last Test of my career. It is just like any other game. And I am taking it that way. For me, every Test is special," Ganguly told newspersons in Kolkata before leaving for Nagpur.

"Everybody has to go (retire) sometime or the other. It's the team cause that comes first," he said to persistent queries from scribes on the issue.

Ganguly said new players would come to fill the vacancies created by his departure from international cricket.

Asked about his future after retirement, Ganguly replied, "I will think about that later. Now, I am only thinking about the Nagpur Test".
