The Saurav Ganguly Interview.

Tweet

hi friends.well dada gave an interview to a certain news channel. i didn't record it or take notes but i will try to give certain points. About being not picked in the auction: i didn't feel betrayed that KKR did not go for me at the auction.i dont know why i wasn't picked by the franchises.some of my fellow age men like gilchrist,warne,dravid,laxman were picked.the reason may be not based on cricketing reason alone. About him coming with packages: there are stories like that if you select ganguly,he would want to be the captain. i played my first half of my cricket under captains,then 5 years as captain and i played 2 and half years under other captains in my last half. i never had any issues about playing under other captains. About SRK asking about mentor position: i dont think that is necessary.KKr has many people like watmore,akram,vijay dahiya and few other local coaches.one more doesn't help the team in anyway. About Kochi's offer: the kochi franchise did ask me whether i would like to play for them and i said yes.but the rules did not allow them to pick me. considering IPL board has been changing rules just like that,i am surprised.Even other teams like banglore and mumbai expressed concerns about the sudden change in auction rules.rules should be made so players can play and not otherwise. About playing Ranji: I played ranji matches last year because i wanted to be fit for the IPL.if i dont get a chance to play IPL,i wont be playing ranji matches. About his idea of coaching india: i would defintely love to coach team india in the future. ok thats it.this interview was given almost a week ago and i only remember part of it.
