In the match against Mumbai Indians, i think, it was the captaincy of the dada- ganguly made the victory for pune. Mumbai Indians are of the favorites to win the IPL this time and pune is considered to be one of the weakest team. But pune managed to mark a victory over Mumbai in there first match in this IPL. after the fall down in batting, pune managed to score only 129 runs in 20 overs. after first innings it seemed like mumbai are in the door of victory considering Mumbai's batting lineup. But ganguly started of the bowling with murali karthik and got the wicket of dangerous levi. from the first over itself pune was attacking the Mumbai and got three wickets in first two overs. The credit of this victory goes to bowlers and the captain ganguly.

Long live,Dada.KKR management throws Dada out of their team last year,Dada proves them wrong,with a suparb win against Mumbai Indians.It's only because of Dada's captaincy.It's vindicated,why he is called india's finest cricket captain of all time. Dada Jindabad.

yes. dada was the real hero of today's match. he rotated the bowlers well and the fielding settings was also good. I think dhoni should learn from dada as CSK were also in similar condition in the match against same MI. but they never even try to give a try. I think if ganguly was in the place of dhoni in that match then the result will be different.

In the match it was great to see the Bowling Changes,which were made by Dada and he used the bowlers cleverly which made the Pune Warriors to win the match.The match was in the hands of the mumbai Indians but Dinda and Kartik Brought Mumbai to 3 down with only 5 runs on the scoreboard.There itself the match turned into the hands of Pune.In the end it was Dadas captaincy due to which they won against such a strong Team.

pune played with four spin bowlers and dada used them effectively. he rotated the bowlers nicely ans never give the opponent to have over power on any bowlers.

Really Today Match which won by pune worrier only and only with captainacy of Dada means Surav Ganguly, he use all his past experience and the total run chase of 130 in 20-20 game is easily but they made it very diffculit to Mumabi indian and offcourse the bowler bowl a good line and length like dinda so dada keep it up and u must take the team in final of IPL-5.

Yes. dada used all his past experience and it was really a good move to start bowling attack with the most experienced bowler in the squad- murali karthik against levi. and it paid of..

Dada is back in the hot seat and is back to doing what he is best at. Masterminding victories for his team. I thought it was a great bowling effort from Pune and Dada marshalled his troops very well to get the job done. But of course, this is only the first match and let's not really get ahead of ourselves. Let's see how Pune Warriors go from here on. Cheers! Ram

A true efficient cricket will always be remarked by every one. It doesn't matter when he is any of the team. In the last game he was little aggressive with his team mates for doing the mistakes in the ground. His efforts has helped many of the players to do the best. This is the one of the reason why Pune had a amazing winning against Indians

Its time these aged and worn out players left the scene and took a permanent retirement. No doubt they have contributed well to India's success in the past. But i think there is a time when they have to call quits.Lakshman,Sachin and others must leave and UR Dada must leave first

The 'comeback king' in the field of cricket has once again showed us that an expert is always an expert, no matter what his age is,his excellence in captaincy will rock whenever he will get a chance. Opening the bowling with karthik, just imagine. It was not so good idea but when you have got two foreign players in the crease the idea is actually brilliant. Dinda was outstanding but, you must have noticed one thing that as long as pollard was in the crease, he was not used because everybody knows how destructive pollard is against the pacers. Ganguly has always told that dinda has all the quality to get the indian cap but nobody listened. Now he has practically shown that under well controlled captaincy dinda can rock. Nobody had thought that pune will defeat mumbai, who has recently demolished chennai in their home ground, with such a weak team. They were being called 'the liliput' team of this ipl edition. But pune has made that happen. Hats off to DADA.
