Ganguly back in IPL with Pune
KOLKATA: Ignored at this year's IPL auctions, former India captain Sourav Ganguly made a dramatic return in the cash-rich league today signing for Pune Warriors India in place of an injured Ashish Nehra.
'I was approached by them yesterday and I've confirmed about my availability to them. I am leaving for Mumbai today and the details will be announced there,' Ganguly told reporters here today. Ganguly is however unlikely to feature in Pune Warriors' match against Mumbai Indians tomorrow.
Ganguly, who was captain of Kolkata Knight Riders for the first and third season was given a cold shoulder by Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise as well as nine others who didn't bid for him during the auctions. The Pune Warriors are in the midst of a disastrous campaign having lost six consecutive matches under Yuvraj Singh's captaincy.
