http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 hints at IPL 6 stint – Cricket News Update
The former Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly, feels that he is still fit to play cricket and hinted that he may play the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well.
The 40-year-old has not enjoyed success since the inception of the cash-rich league in 2008. The left-handed batsman was initially the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders but miserably failed to deliver the goods. He was later replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, resulting
in an evident improvement in the franchise’s performance.
Ganguly, who is known as ‘Dada’ in the cricketing world, led the Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364. The result however, was not different as the team finished at the bottom of the points table.
A number of sport’s pundits criticised Ganguly’s lacklustre approach, both as a batsman and as a captain, and they feel that the veteran should call it a day from competitive cricket.
The former Indian skipper recently turned 40 and thinks that he still has the ability to compete in domestic cricket. The left-hander believes that winning and losing are parts of the game and it is extremely unjust to write-off a sportsman at any point
of his career.
The ‘Prince of Kolkata’ is satisfied and proud of what he has achieved as an international player and captain.
"I will take a call next season. As a matter of fact, I would not be even 41 when the IPL 6 would begin in 2013. I'm also a human and prone to failures. Somehow you have to deal with it. Many captains have failed (in the IPL) but it's Sourav Ganguly who
always makes the headlines. I cherish my entire life. I've been blessed with a life full of good memories," said Ganguly.
While some of the analysts are criticising Sachin Tendulkar’s decision of not playing the limited-overs series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, Ganguly expressed that a player of the little-master’s calibre deserves to pick and choose.
The left-hander commented, "He is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607. He has got the right to do it. That's the way it is for the youngsters. He comes and performs for the team."
