IPL 2011: News

Basic flaw: Couldn't bat or bowl

New match, new opponent, new day but the same old result. That has been the story of the Pune Warriors in this IPL. Being new entrants, we wanted to do something special. But, no matter how hard we tried things didn't click for us in the entire season. Yuvraj Singh writes.

Not quite like the Dada we know

As he stood in silence, with hands on his hips — after Yusuf Pathan had scored his second boundary in an over to virtually seal the deal for KKR — Sourav Ganguly was perhaps wondering whether his efforts to make an appearance in IPL-4 was worth it.

‘The toughest day of my career’

Sourav Ganguly's name in the starting XI was greeted with the loudest cheers in the Rajiv Gandhi stadium and the crowd booed Jesse Ryder on the boundary line after he replaced the former India skipper, who was shifted to a safer fielding spot after just one ball had been bowled. Abhijeet Kulkarni reports.

Ray of light in a long tunnel

A new dawn and I find myself performing the same old chores, packing my belongings to move to the next venue.  There is a hint of freshness in my demeanor and that is because of the first win we recorded in the last eight matches. Yuvraj Singh writes.

Once a king, now a bench warmer

After all that extended foreplay, Sourav Ganguly seems to be having performance anxiety. Sukhwant Basra reports.

Pune leave out Ganguly yet again

Sourav Ganguly's much awaited IPL-IV debut got delayed as in a surprising move, Pune Warriors did not include the former India skipper in the playing XI against Kings XI Punjab, in Mohali on Sunday.

Points table not a true reflection of our ability

The Pune Warriors are in Chandigarh where we will face the Kings XI Punjab in our 10th game. We are in desperate need of luck and performance to turn things around, writes Yuvraj Singh.

Alfonso's 19th over proved costly for us: Uthappa

Pune Warriors batsman Robin Uthappa has blamed the penultimate over of the Mumbai Indians innings in which paceman Alfonso Thomas leaked 27 runs, for their seventh consecutive defeat in the ongoing IPL.

Fallen Warriors bow to mighty Mumbai Indians

With the neighbouring franchisees up against each other, the splendid DY Patil Sports Stadium saw each of its 55,000-odd seats occupied for the first time in the Indian Premier League's (IPL's) fourth edition. Amol Karhadkar reports. Scorecard

Former India skipper finds a home in Pune

The Pune Warriors decision to rope in Sourav Ganguly in the latter half of the Indian Premier League (IPL's) is baffling and defies any cricketing logic. Amol Karhadkar reports.

Not good, it’s going down to the wire

Nothing seems to be working for the Pune Warriors at the moment. We are trying our best to get back to form but things are not going our way, writes Yuvraj Singh.

Virat attack leaves hapless Warriors scurrying for cover

Exhilarating batting displays by Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle powered the Royal Challengers Bangalore to a 26-run win over the Pune Warriors India at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. Rohit Bhaskar reports.  Scorecard

Overhaul FTP or be ready to witness players making choices

Is the BCCI unfair in expecting its marquee players, in whom they've invested so much, to represent the country in an international game? Or, are the broadcasters unreasonable in insisting that India play their star players each time, since revenues plummet the moment Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni abstain?
