Ganguly to shine against his former team today
The former Indian captain and batting rock-star, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
Ganguly, who is representing Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 in this tournament, is hopeful of displaying a marvellous batting performance against a team he captained during the first three Indian Premier League (IPL) Seasons.
Having been knocked out of the IPL-4 race, Pune is set to play its last game against KKR, who hold 4th position on the points table, and are expected to qualify for the play-offs by winning one of its two remaining matches in the first round.
Ganguly did not get a contract from KKR in the IPL auction for this season and the franchise chose http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 depressed at this dishonour. He said a month ago, “There are several reasons I could have been dropped, but not for
cricket”.
IPL newcomers, Pune Warriors, hired Ganguly in the midst of the ongoing tournament as the Yuvraj-led needed a substitute.
Despite the fact that today’s game makes no difference for Pune, Ganguly desires to hit hard against his home team.
Pune coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Robert-Marsh-c58893, says, “He is very excited to do well against his former team. He is looking forward to the challenge. He has still got a huge passion for the sport, wants to compete”.
Pune Warriors are expecting huge crowds for what http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Willey-c81951 essentially be Ganguly against his former team.
Pune players want to prevent KKR from qualifying for the play-offs by inflicting a defeat on them in today’s game. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 said, “It is unfortunate that we cannot get to the play-offs, but we can stop teams from getting there. We have a lot to play for”.
For fans, its matters a little which team wins and which loses as they are just keen to watch http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lameck-Onyango-Ngoche-c72165 perform.
Ganguly has rendered many valuable http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sachin-Ramesh-Tendulkar-c87800 in India.
