Good news for Dada fans. Kochi franchise wants to book him for the forth coming IPL-4. B.C.C.I. has given their green signal for the deal if other franchises do not have any objection for the same. If everything goes well then die hard fans of Dada, and believe me there are plenty, will be able to see him in action very soon. Knowing Saurabh he will fire from all cylinders at least to teach a lesson or two to Shahrukh and company. How do you react to this?

Any news if Dada is keen to join Kochi after all this drama ??
Wonder why Kochi never bid for him in the first place
? It will also be interesting to see if Saurav will react to playing under a younger captain.
If Dada is still fit to bowl slow medium pace, he will be worth much more than his bidding price.
What i fear is that: all this controversy will put tremendous pressure on him & his franchise. Can you imagine the headlines if Dada fails in the first two matches !!

Dada will have much more at stake than just money. The qway we know Dada he is not among those who will easily give up. He will have to prove a lot to the franchises who have written him off. We can not forget the way he made his come back in Indian team and all his distractors had to retract their views on him. Whether Dada is keen to join or not, Kochi could not have approached B.C.C.I. without his consent.

this news sounds better than mumbai indians reaching the finals.
hmmm now if dada plays for kochi,then i wont mind next time when mumbai thrashes the KKR team.
ofcourse kochi has only one iconic player in the form of laxman .no wonder they opted for dada.
as my friends said here,i would be waiting for the day a kochi vs KKr match at eden gardens when dada sends the ball crashing to the boundary

I heard this news from one of my friend in the afternoon.Actually I wouldn't belive that but after seeing it from the Internet I am sure about it.Now I am feeling happy that there is chance for me to watch Dada in real as I am from Kerala and resides near to Kochi.Any way it is nice to see that Sourav Gangulty is back in action again.

I have got the news by today morning. It's really a very good news for the fans of sourav (dada) and to the people of west Bengal mainly kolkata.But the news is not so prominent one.So I am not sure about the news. DO you know it clearly?

The news is on Times of India to day on front page that Kochi franchise has approached B.C.C.I. to book Saurav and that B.C.C.I. has no objection in the deal if other franchises does not have any objection. Other franchises can stop the deal as any capped player has to go through the hammer and purchased through open bidding only.

Was just checking cricinfo.com which are also updating all IPL squads everyday. So far they havent added Ganguly's name to the Kochi squad list.
Though i hope he do play, even though i am from Delhi, i always liked his aggressive captaincy. I hope he can still play a role in IPL.
anyway whichever team he joins he can still guide the youngsters

It is really a good news for Dada himself and the fans also...I always had this feeling that dada would make it to some or the other team and Kochi...good to see him being snapped by Kochi.

That a awesome news i am a huge dada fan and wish him all the luck
just read all about it and hope ti see kkr vs kochi match all eyes would be on dada
A good, but late move.could have had him on the second day, when he was unsold on the opening day.

Thank you sajeev, As I said earlier I am also a big fan of Saurabh. I like his free hitting particularly lifting spinners as well as fast baller with equal ease in front of the wicket for effortless six. He will definitely work hard to prove his point to all these franchises who ignored him.
