With Sourav Ganguly signing up with the Pune Warriors, it is a great opportunity to see a captain join forces with a young man he backed to the hilt a decade ago.
yuvraj singh pune warriors captain
It seems a strange selection on the part of the Pune Warriors India franchisee given that Ganguly, the batsman, was replacing Ashish Nehra, the bowler. However, given that the Pune Warriors have not been able to lift themselves in their batting, having an experienced Indian hand would not hurt, was their summarizing.
However, the opportunity of having Dada in the Pune Warriors dressing room gives Yuvraj Singh the opportunity as the Pune Warriors captain to find a way to thank the former Indian captain who supported Yuvraj Singh's foray into the Indian cricket team during his embryonic days. One of Ganguly's hallmarks as the Indian captain was his staunch support for young players he believed in as the future of Indian cricket and Yuvraj Singh was one of them.
Despite a dreadful year, Yuvraj Singh has stormed back with a phenomenal performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 with India lifting the trophy only a second time in history. Yuvraj Singh has been in a mood for gratitude and one of the people he would thank would be Sourav Ganguly himself.
Now Yuvraj Singh will hope that not only will he get additional captaincy input with Sourav Ganguly in the team but also, an experienced batsmen who can bolster the Pune Warriors who have been shunted right to the bottom of the IPL 4 points table.
Naturally Yuvraj Singh would want to back the man who backed him on belief. However, a lot will also depend on Sourav Ganguly perhaps proving his fitness before finding himself in the Pune Warriors batting line up with some of the franchisee hoping sooner the better.
