Not too long ago, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly formed one of the most formidable opening partnerships in limited overs cricket, tearing bowling attacks apart. Now leading two so-far under-performing outfits in the IPL, their fortunes seem to be heading in opposite directions.Not too long ago, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly formed one of the most formidable opening partnerships in limited overs cricket, tearing bowling attacks apart. Now leading two so-far under-performing outfits in the IPL, their fortunes seem to be heading in opposite directions.
With Tendulkar leading from the front, the Mumbai Indians have looked a much more motivated outfit in IPL III. For Ganguly and Kolkata Knight Riders though, the horrific demons from the first two editions seem to be rapidly returning to haunt them all over again after an encouraging start.
Tendulkar’s 21st year in international cricket has been filled with a number of memorable moments already. And the 36-year-old Mumbai captain added another one at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday night, leading his team to a convincing seven-wicket victory with an unbeaten 48-ball 71. Ganguly, meanwhile, suffered a desperate and uncomfortable stay at the crease and his only real moment of glory came in rather astonishing fashion on the field — as he leapt back athletically in the cover region and hung on to a one-handed catch to get rid off Sourabh Tiwary.
