How was DADA's comeback in IPL 4 ?

India
May 10, 2011 9:18am CST
Dada scored unbeaten 32 off 32 balls. He hit one six off Mishra and tried to hit Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma. Though he was not successful but saved his wicket. What do you think ? Not bad! eh ? His shots were somehow resembled some spark of his golden past but he did manage to train and prepare for match fitness and proved by batting. Though his fielding was poor today, saw a boundary slipped between his fingers in 30 yards circle. Whatever overall he made a mark and didn't disappoint the well wishers, fans of him. The cheers for him was noticable.

I am a big fan of saurav ganguly. So I wish saurav should come back to the Indian cricket team.

This never die attitude in him is the most attracting thing to me about him.Not only now but also at every time when the critics crucified him he was real warrior. 32 of 32 balls is not a bad score at all and moreover it was what demanding from him at that time.Definitely he played well and also to our expectations.

Hi rafaelnadal, When Ganguly was not taken by any franchise I felt bad. Not necessary that he had to be in the KKR, other owners too could think on him. May be due to frustration he opted to take up commentary rater when PWI made a deal with him. I do not know what was the feeling of our angry captain seeing Ganguly but most others loved his presence in the field. He batted well and just joining a team without sufficient practice what he did today was marvelous. Hope he does even better in the coming matches.

yes he has not hold a bat for almost five months and come out and bat like that was special.....but i think its a little too late for pune........they should have got him a bit erlier to give them any chance of making to the qualifing stages.

Dada's performance was not at all bad against Deccan Chargers. He scored 32 off 32 balls hitting 1 six & 3 fours & remained unbeaten more importantly. This tells that he's still got fire in him to play international cricket. He didn't throw his wicket & played sensibly. After a long long time, I got see Dada back in action today. I felt really happy.

he was good enough today.truely,i never expected saurav ganguly to play fearlessly against deil stein after a long interval.but,he showed us the courage and class he holds.he was stiff in some respect,may be was not middling the ball with the blade.but,he was trying his best with all his experience and talent.it is an genuine example of a person,who can do what he wants to do.whatever the situation is.hopefully he will gain some of his fitness again in next days and play some beautiful knock.will dada do it again?is this another heavyweight comeback for him?time will say.but,before the time we have the freedom to discuss about him...it is an wonderful subject.so,carry on plz

Saurav Ganguly is a good cricketer. He is a good captain also. I like Ganguly so much. He is an all-rounder in the cricket team.

It was remarkable to say the least and I am not exaggerating. A man who has struggled so much but never given up hope. Anybody else in his place would have been lost in oblivion. The class he has has spoken for itself. Remarkable innings in his yet another comeback match (lost count of his comebacks) !! And it was very good to see the spectator running into the field to touch his feet. Such is the respect and fan following he generates even 1500 kms away from home. Hats off to you Maharaja.

Playing after so lang and scoring 32 not out of 32 balls with 1 six and 3 four must be very good outing for DADA. He has always been a class player and that class of his will never elude him though his body may not support him. The fielding lapses are the result of that, though he was never known for fielding excellence. He can only improve from here. Good luck to him and Pune Warriors.

WEll see Dada had done well as far as today's match is concern and he will do good in future match too. Question is that as there was no risk and very low run rate was rquired so easy to play. In future we had to wait to se how he did in oressure and show srk his talent.
