Saurav failed to occupy any place in Indian Premier League-4

BANGLORE: In the auction of Indian Premier League-4 former Kolkata Knight Riders skippers Saurav Ganguly, Chris Gayle, Jesse Ryder and Herschelle Gibbs were the four players to go unsold in Bangalore on Saturday.

Ganguly and Gayle, West Indies skipper and a big hitter were part of Knight Riders in the first three IPLs and had the base price $400,000, reserved for marquee players. Ganguly was earlier placed in the $200,000 price bracket, but he later increased his base price to $400,000, which is the highest bracket for marquee players in the league.

One of the oldest Indian players up for auction at 38 years and six months had a tough time with Knight Riders and was also removed from captaincy in the second edition in South Africa.

Now the Knight Riders did not show any more interest in Saurav Ganguly.
