Dada returns !!


The silence when Sourav Ganguly's name was called at the auction was treated as a snub not just to the man but to the nation's ethos. How could the man who had lent teeth to the lambs of Indian cricket, the man who had left Steve Waugh waiting at the toss, the man who had whirled his shirt around his head on the balcony at Lord's be left out of a tournament that claimed to be the Indian Premier League. When "Dada" finally played his first game for Pune Warriors, after joining them as a replacement for Ashish Nehra, one fan was so overcome with emotion he ran on to the field in Hyderabad and fell at Ganguly's feet in reverence.(picked from cricinfo)
