Kolkata Knight Riders beat Deccan Chargers by 20 runs

After winning the toss, Kumar Sangakara decided to put Kolkata Knight Riders into bat first. Knight Riders started very slowly due to good bowling attack from Deccan Chargers. After Morgan’s departure, Kallis and Gautam Gambhir scored some useful runs for Kolkata Knight Riders. Two drop catches of Yusuf Pathan was big turning point of the match. Yusuf Pathan and Tiwary took away KKR to 169 runs which was big total against Deccan chargers.

It was not such a big target for Deccan Chargers with such a strong batting line up. Sohal and Dhawan started off well but the failure of middle order was again responsible for their spoiled innings. Sangakara departed on duck whereas Bhatia picked the wickets of Cameroon White and Christian in the same over. Deccan Chargers just reached 149 runs in 20 overs and lost the match by 20 runs. This was their second consecutive defeat in this IPL.

Sourav Ganguly will join Sahara Pune Warriors India in IPL-4

Sourav Ganguly who remained unsold in IPL-4 will finally be playing. Ganguly was former skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders. But, he was not included by any of the franchisees this season in IPL. He will be playing for Sahara Pune Warriors India for the rest of the matches. 

Sourav has been included in the squad in place of pacer Ashish Nehra. He has to leave the IPL-4 due to injury. Sourav will join Pune Warriors in place of him. He was also approached earlier by Kochi Tuskers Kerala but their application was rejected by the IPL Governing Council.

Finally Dada will be seen playing in this season of IPL. He will definitely try to answer back all those who all were speaking against him. Dada played fantastically in this format of the game in previous seasons. But, remained unsold this season due to unknown reasons.
