Dadas Dhamaka at Eden Gardens

It has been a bit of an up and own tournament for the KOLKATA team.They have inconsistent performances , their foriegn players like brendon and ponting left early , gayle got injured and didnt play a single match , while shoaib couldnt play most of the matches due to his ban and again missed the last 2 games due to an injury.The weather gods also havnet been kind to them with the game agaisnt delhi at the kotla washed out and rain also interfering in the mtach against chennai which the latter won due to the D/L method.After all this they needed to go out on a high and this is precisely what they did yesterday when saurav ganguly probably played the best inningns of the IPL as he single handedly guided them to a win which for the most part seemed improbable.Ganguly scored a 53 ball 86 as his team chased down 174 on a difficult pitch against a good bowling attck , the next highest being 24 by gul and butt.Ever since brendon left he has been carrying the team virtually on his own carving out some memorable mom performances against hyd and bang .But in a team game it is really difficult for one batsman to carry the team
every time in a team game like cricket.But to gangulys credit he has tried his best and had he got a bit of support kolkata would have very well reached the semis.Anyways IPL is all about entertainment and dada has entertained us all by his delightful performances and especially his classy batting yesterday which was a refreshing change from the wild slogs we been seeing all throught out this tournament by people like jayasuriya , yusuf pathan and others.The maharaj bowed out of this tournamnet in a typical royal fashion with an inningns which eden gardens , kolkata and all the true indian cricket lowers will cherish forever.Truly it was an amazing display by god himself in the city of joy.
cheers to kolkata and dada , you truly rock
