Robin Uthappa lauds the leadership of Sourav Ganguly – Cricket News Update
Pune Warriors’ wicketkeeper/batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Uthappa-c2356, is not happy after the loss against Mumbai Indians on Thursday, but feels that his team is going to fight back in the coming matches of the fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 half-way through the match. However, Pune succumbed under pressure and fell short by just one run.
Uthappa opened the innings for the home team and scored a brisk 18 before being trapped in front of the wickets off the bowling of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MM-Patel-c1987. The right-handed batsman has been in good form in the current season but has failed to convert his starts in to
big knocks.
The right-handed top-order batsman expressed that his team is extremely disappointed after the loss. Pune was in desperate need of two points and to lose the match by just one run was quite demoralizing.
The out of favour Indian batsman said, “It’s so hard to say when you lose by one run. There are so many ifs and buts when you lose by one run, like we could have run one run harder or shouldn’t have given a wide or boundary, etc.”
Pune’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 has been under immense criticism since the defeat against Mumbai as the cricket pundits believe that the left-handed batsman is a liability on Pune because he has lost the ability to score runs at an acceptable pace.
However, Uthappa is all praise for the leadership skills of the former Indian captain and said that ‘Dada’ brings in a lot of experience to the team.
“He brings in a lot of experience and a lot of ideas. Someone who can give us a good piece of advice as far as cricket is concerned. He speaks so well about the game because he has a lot of knowledge. He has been one of the best captains the country has
produced,” Uthappa added.
Pune will take on Kolkata Knight Riders tomorrow in the 47th fixture of the on-going season.
