Dada’s Ouster From Ipl 4

Finally the inevitable has happened as Indian Legend Sourav Ganguly is unceremoniously booted from the fourth edition of IPL, and that too, in the most eerie of fashions. His name was almost dealt with the silence, fear and isolation as that of Voldemort’s in entire Harry Potter series. Like it or not, but there is no way that the veteran now stands a chance to play in this edition or the next edition of IPL. Though, if the buzz around the town is to be taken seriously, the Kolkata Knight Riders are contemplating the involvement of Ganguly as a chief mentor or some sort of team managerial/administrative executive starting this season.

Well, that is very much understood as they cannot risk eroding the sole brownie of theirs in the entire franchise and that is the popularity and craze that the team has; which is also invariably lent to itself due to the involvement of Sourav. While, it is very enticing as to why no one bothered to even break the jinx and take a shot at bidding for Sourav during the auction, many analysts have been quoted as stating that the sole powerful reason should be the high price set for himself by Sourav. Sourav had chosen to increase his base price to $400,000, which had thus proven to be detrimental as the present conditions are shown.

There was also a previous buzz around the possibility of Pune Warriors roping in the veteran, given the fact that he features among the elite favorites of Subrata Roy, the Chairman of Sahara Group which owns the team. But no time during the auction did Sushanto Roy, son of Subrata Roy and the owner of Pune Warriors, was seen making even the lamest possible attempt to show an inclination to bid for Sourav.

Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of KKR has been trying his best to do damage control, even before the auction had begun, stating that some cold decisions would be lent out. He even went on to say that Dada would understand what’s best for the team! But, now he says, it’s impossible to have KKR without the presence of Sourav Ganguly. Are we ready for more drama gain…..oh wait…..lemme grab a pop-corn refill!!
