Sourav Ganguly to play Next IPL Match: Yuvraj

 

9th MAY

Sourav Ganguly the DADA is all set to finally be part of Playing XI of IPL 4 Pune warriors team and will be playing his first game in next PWI game. Though he was already part of Pune Warriors Squad last 2 matches he was not taken in to the playing XI as he needed some practice with the team.

Yuvraj Singh who attended a felicitation ceremony along with Harbhajan organised by Pearl group answered to question if Ganguly will be on bench or in the final 11 asked saying that “Sourav will play the next Match. He is ready for it now”.

So its time for the hindu**** t***s and other websites which wrote articles on Ganguly warming the bench for the whole IPL to shut thier dirty expectations. DADA is back in business.

Both of Indian team members told that they will make themselves available for Windies Tour and would give their best if selected.

Yuvraj along with Harbhajan rubbished the fixing reports which a Leading Sports Magazine has claimed to have happened in World Cup. They felt that issue was not even worth commenting upon and it was done for cheap publicity by Sports Magazine.

Will DADA play in next IPL ?

Many fans seem to be searching will DADA play next IPL 4. Technically he can play as the contract once made will it can be extended for 3 seasons even if the injured player comes back. Even if Ashish Nehra Returns back Sourav Ganguly can still play all the seasons off course if he keeps himself fit and if likes to play. Getting into this season IPL 4 was itself the great thing as he had to do it in the middle of the tournament.

Saurav ganguly Dada in IPL 4 for pune warriors

DADA NOW IN IPL 4 WITH	PUNE WARRIORS INDIA

 

Sourav ganguly the dada is in IPL 4 now. News real as Ashish Nehra of pune warriors is injured and Ashish worth in il falls in same slot as Ganguly slot ! So the no dada no IPL campaign comes to an end !!

Will Ganguly change the fortunes of pune warriors . Whatever might happen it will be great to see another IPL with dada and his heroics.

Important:

1. Ganguly will not be captaining Pune Warriors. He will play under Yuvraj Singh. All agreements have been made regarding that.

2. Ganguly needs to train with the team and prove his fitness before he can play for next match. So his inclusion in match with Mumbai Indians is doubtfull

3. But Dada himself has announced that he has been practicing before the IPL itself and he also said that fingers crossed if he gets a chance he can directly play for team as he will be fit. So hopes still on for Sachin and Ganguly facing each other in next IPL MI vs PW game.

4. Beloved dada was also quoted saying that he did not joing Pune Warriors and so did not negotiate any amount with Pune Warriors. He reportedly said that he wants to join back IPL 4 only to prove a point as he had some unfinished business. Only DADA can do that. A website wrote that dada is being desperate in joining Pune or trying too much for joining IPL 4.  Have they forgotten all the insult that was done to one of the India’s greatest captain, who showed India what being aggressive is ?? I request all Indian cricket fans to report abuse that article which is completely baseless. He will show what he can be. If Dravid and Laxman can play in IPL, then ganguly deserves to play as more that that.

5. Before this good news a lot of Hungama happened here with Kochi franchise and Pune franchise itself with reports coming in that Jayawardene will be replated by dada. But it did not happen as he stayed back with the permission of Sri lankan cricket board.

Big Cheers for him for coming back.

Many querıes but all I can say ıs that both Kochı n Ganguly had agreed and now they wıll apply. If ıt ıs ok, Dada shud be on May 5 or so less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Favorite Retweet Reply

Who would not ! Every wanted to see this man back as exclusion of DADA from IPL 4 in the auction and later did not make any cricketing sense. It was something else. Negative Publicity ? Increase in Slab rate just before the auction ? or just tough luck!! ?

Fans rejoiced the moment when they got to know that DADA might be replacing Jayawardane as captain of Kochi after he leaves to Lanka on May 5th and the decision was now with IPL committee to accept the replacement. Though initially Sri Lankan players had to go for a national assignment on May 20 th, their board called for players earlier as preparatory exercise.

Then also came a message from DADA himself in Bangla channel. That it’s possible that he might participate in IPL 4. Everything was falling in place and Some fans even made posters of Ganguly with Kochi Tuskers Logo.

But one more twist is tale came today when Sri Lankan board reverted back to its decision of asking players to come only on 20th May. That means that Jayawardene would not be there for just 2 league games and Qualifiers that too if they make it to the next level. It is back to the state of dilemma again. If or not we can see DADA in IPL 4. Some fans have already given up hopes due to too many twists and rumors about this issue, while some are still silently praying.

Sri Lanka board reverts back: Players allowed till 18th

Before this some fans took out a campaign: DADA in DC as Deccan needed a replacement for Kevin Peterson. Read more about it here. Surprisingly Deccan is moving on without a replacement.

Now thinking about the past, I feel that the decision that Ganguly took of increasing his Base price beyond 92,000 $ to a Lakh and over has gone against him in coming into IPL 4. It seemed correct when he took that decision but because of more base price he could not replace injured Steven Smith whose price was 90,000$ itself. It’s rules of the Managing committee sat that a player of Higher slab cannot replace player with Lower slab. However this is possible with Jayawardane as both fall into same league.

Let’s hope we soon get some news for sure. I am still positive about it.

DADA | Great Indian Captain | Unlucky KKR Skipper

Great news! KKR are table toppers. (Point's Table here) I read articles and comments praising the new team. Now that is understandable :) They deserve all the praise. BUT i also see people commenting that Ganguly's exclusion did the magic for KKR. Firstly people should stop jumping to conclusions early. In fact, Season 1 and Season 3 also KKR started with 2 wins under Ganguly. Agreed that the sprit which the team is showing is amazing with Gambhir leading from front. However, I am completely against with view that DADA’S exclusion from this team has brought changes in fortunes of KKR.

Few random facts about KKR in IPL overall:

• KKR lost 14 out of 28 games under Ganguly's captaincy
• KKR lost 10 games out of 14 under Mculum's captaincy
• KKR was most effected in by rain in IPL1 in 2 crucial matches.
• SRK is the ONLY owner, who comments on team strategies and key team issues in media. (sometimes overtaking the captain/coach). Fact also is that he doesn't know anything much about cricket.
• DADA has scores 1032 runs in 40 matches at an average of 28.7 for KKR. He has also taken 8 wickets effecting positively with his bowling at least in 3 matches.
• DADA had to anchor the innings in all the seasons, because of inconsistency and presence of too many explosive batsman.
• KKR under DADA was very unlucky in loosing Pakistan Players like Shoaid Akthar, Umar Gul etc. They missed out on good players as getting replacements of same level could not happen.

Firstly KKR should have bid for DADA. Especially knowing that they did not give him a continuous stint of captaincy to him and owners creating unnecessary controversies and meddling with team affairs. And for the biggest reason that, KKR fans would love to see 2 names always together Kolkata and Ganguly, they should have.

Their argument for not bidding was that Gangly couldn't be the explosive opening batsman which they wanted. In fact I strongly feel that lack of batsman in previous team who could efficiently anchor the innings like Jaques Kallis in present team is the reason for how Ganguly batted out his innings. I wish he can just magically play some games with the current team and show what he can do. DADA was also unlucky as even though they had young talents like Ishant Sharma, Tiwary or Dinda, they never seem to deliver the best which they were capable of. Especially Ishant who bowled so exceptionally for Indian team till his association with KKR lost the magic.

It's a fact that KKR under Ganguly couldn't reach he last 4. But with inconsistent team that he had and a turn of events which just completely went against him DADA should be given the credit for what he has done for KKR. For a legend that he his, he more than deserves to mentor his home KKR team. I at least wish he can get a chance to play with other IPL teams to have some questions answered. Remembering the days where he came back to Indian team and retired on a high, I feel he will do something similar here. Good luck Dada.

If KKR is doing good now it makes sense to appreciate the team. And is completely rubbish to reason that Ganguly’s absence is helping them. There is nothing common from last KKR team to this team except SRK and off course this is a better team.

Ganguly’s experience would have only helped the team to do better and nothing otherwise.

DADA in DC | Deccan Chargers ? FANS ask for KP replacement

April, 6th

Deccan Chargers' Fans want DADA Sourav Ganguly as a replacement for KP Kevin Peterson. Numerous requests are being posted in official Facebook page of Deccan Chargers and also in the official Website of DC. Rumors are strong as PR of Sourav was quoted tweeting that the talks are on with DC and they can expect an announcement next week.

Darren Lehmann, the Coach replying to this request said that Peterson is nursing his injury and that they are still hopeful of having him back in this Edition of IPL. Lehman acknowledging the greatness of Sourav, however said that they are confident with the current team. With this reply mutual fans of Sourav DADA and DC are a little disappointed.

Some fans think Gayle could be a good replacement. However Team Deccan Chargers seem quite happy with the side they have. Off course with a terrific bowling side in Steyn, Juan Theron, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma and Gony they should be if their domestic batsman show good potential.

A facebook page created yesterday supporting this demand of “DADA in DC” gathered 3000 likes in day. Hope this miracle happens and we can see one of india’s greatest captains in Deccan Chargers.
