The Warriors Yuvraj Singh-led, languishing at the bottom of the table after six straight losses, need to win all their other six games to give themselves a realistic chance of breaking a playoff spot in the fourth IPL
Yuvraj batting was not bad, although he refused to lift the order but failed to move forward. By roping in Sourav, who has always been a mentor to Yuvi, the Warriors management has clearly attempted to increase their confidence captain.
"We needed someone with experience, when key players like Angelo Mathews, Ashish Nehra and Tim Paine sidelined by injuries. Who would not want Sourav? He brings experience. After all, he played with Yuvraj, Uthappa and Karthik, and one of the most successful captains of the country has seen, "Abhijit Sarkar, Head, Sahara Adventure Limited, told TOI. "
We were lucky that everything fell into place for us, "said Sarkar." The team has had bad results ... We are confident that the arrival of Sourav going to change things around us. "
TOI sources said, the first shot came from Pune, close after the team's owners decided to go to someone with experience. When Ganguly was offered to play in Pune, his first reaction was: "Why I am not ready to play, even without money."
The Bengal left-hander wants to prove a point to those who think cricket career is over. Sources close to Ganguly says he is simply trying to avenge the "insult" to the auction.
While veterans like VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Shane Warne to play in IPL, why could he not? Ganguly will be paid about Rs 80 lakh to play the rest of the season.
What new job profile Ganguly ask him to do a lot of mentoring in addition to contributing to the bat. After six straight losses, two of them from winning positions, is the team's morale is very low.
The only problem is that the franchise owners may have left too late. For Sourav is a case of fifth time lucky. Twice to take into account all the concessions and 10, players are auctioned in January, and two failed attempts by Tuskers Kochi to take it on board, Sourav finally gets the opportunity to show the world that he belongs.
Sourav, who spent a terrible auction after four months, but refused to give up his dream of IPL, has been to the gym regularly. Two days after sending the fans into a tizzy at the Eden Gardens to appear on the stands during the match against KKR Kings XI Punjab, Bengal's favorite son returned to his "spiritual home" and were engaged in serious practice Network on Tuesday.
On his way he stopped to confirm agreement with the warriors of Pune, the promise of long talk after being formally introduced. A twist of fate can be prevented from being anointed as the "King of Kochi, but a turn of fortune is now seen in the avatar of" warrior prince "in Pune.
It is unfortunate that warriors are not expected to play in the Garden of Eden cons KKR, but expect fireworks on May 19 when the two teams clash at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai.
