dibyabttb Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Dada's magic: Pune Warriors most popular IPL team in IPL 2012 Even though the TV ratings of the IPL 2012 have dropped drastically, Sahara owned Pune Warriors seems to be the most popular team in this season of IPL with maximum cricket fans following the team's matches both in the stadium and on the TV. The youngest team in the IPL, Pune has topped the popularity charts outpacing teams like Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi. In addition to Pune's improved performance in the current season, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly's charisma is also believed to be behind the team's newfound popularity. According to the viewership data released by TAM Sports, the average rating for the first 27 matches of the fifth season of IPL stands at 3.53, lower than IPL 4's average of 3.88 and lowest among all seasons of IPL. Out of these 27 matches, only 10 matches have received rating of more than 4. Pune Warriors India has been involved in these matches (with TV rating 4+) most of the time. According to an analysis by e4m, a marketing, advertising and media portal, it is the 'Dada factor' which is working in favor of the Pune based IPL team. Not just on the TV, the stadiums hosting Pune Warriors matches also get packed and at home the team enjoys unbelievable crowd support. How can a team which finished ninth among 10 teams in the first season, garner such a huge support base in just one year? Quite obviously, the team's improved performance in IPL 2012 has won it a large number of new supporters. The team has already beaten mighty teams like Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi so far. The team looks stronger with most of its players in form. For a team which had to lose its captain Yuvraj Singh (for cancer treatment) and didn't sit in the IPL players' auction (because of a rift with BCCI) hence losing a chance to buy some exciting new talents, the journey so far in IPL 5 has been like a dream and the cricket fans across India seem to have appreciated the efforts put by the team. But the biggest factor that has contributed to the team's fan base is the presence of iconic cricketer Sourav Ganguly in the team. A national icon, Sourav's fans are in every city in India and they are keenly following the progress of their beloved Dada's team in the tournament. Dada's aggressive captaincy has provided a new lease of life to the Pune Warriors. Everyone is eager to see how Dada answers to the snub he received last year when no IPL team bought him at players' auction. Almost 3 months away from his 40th birthday, Sourav has done a great job so far in inspiring his team to win. Source* *Disclosures Apply
Magneto Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 who was it assigned to? If there is no thread by 5' date=' can one of the two mascots create it?[/quote'] There are no two mascots! And this is our home game! :hitler:
dibyabttb Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Dinda, Get well soon man. We are missing Dinda badly. See the bowling card. Who will Sourav go to if all the 5 bowlers go for runs. In other matches, Dinda used to seal run scoring from one end. Plus Marlon Samuels bats pathetically slow. His bowling is not a big advantage for the team either.
King Khan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Dishearting performance by Pune Pune has lost there momentum. Thats it, nothing happening as a team atm there, without any unexceptional performance (in there day) by somebody this team cant win. Dada has missed most of his chances to (re)suffling the team combo to get the best side of the team, now he can only hope some miracle performance comes out from somwhere from this squad and get them to a winning side again. This need to be happen asap b4 Dada could swap some of his resoponsibilty with Clarky back from caribbean tour. This is squad of few ego-problematic peoples so called professionals rather than a 'team' with role players.

bangladeshifan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 r u gonna drop that motu ryder or not? 2 good matches out of 9 and hes undroppable. u dont have to win matches for the team everyday. atleast score some runs consistently. he scored single digits in 7 matches.
Yoda-esque Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Been saying all along to make Dada the non playing captain..Hes good for strategizing only. Embarassment on the field and kind of hopeless with the bat..His SRs range between 90-110 which is very poor for T20 considering he opens in Powerplay. Uthappa is another liability. Open with Steve Smith and Ryder..get some momentum going.
Ram Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I told you guys - Ganguly is your biggest liability. :headshake:
bulbul Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 I told you guys - Ganguly is your biggest liability. :headshake: do you really think they dont know that :giggle:
