After restricting the defending champions to 155 for five,the Warriors rode on Jesse Ryder and Steve Smith’s unbeaten knocks to shock Chennai yesterday.

The former India captain believed the win against Chennai will boost the side’s confidence.

Though the Super Kings have a deep batting line-up,captain Dhoni conceded they are not as strong in bowling.

Ganguly started his career in IPL as the icon player for Kolkata Knight Riders but was then reportedly dropped by the team due to not-so-impressive performance.

It was then in the last year’s edition that he was picked by the Sahara Pune Warriors and since then it’s no looking back for Dada.

Yuvraj’s ailment made him unavailable for the fifth edition of the IPL and Ganguly got a chance to lead the Pune franchise and since then,the team has been into a new look,be it their kit or their performance.

It’s perhaps Dada and his Dadagiri which has led Pune Warriors to the top of the points table of IPL 5.
