Warne Takes on Ganguly!

Shane Warne during the post match interview, said that, he was disappointed with Ganguly. He said, his team was waiting in the hot sun for five minutes waiting for Ganguly to arrive. He said, he was wasting time and wanted to take advantage of that.

He said, everyone agreed to play in the right spirit of the game, but he was disappointed that did not happen. He said, his team was waiting Ganguly to arrive and that caused delay of 5 minutes. Each team should complete their bowling in 80 minutes--an hour and twenty minutes.

He also said that Ganguly should have asked Smith whether he took the catch and walked out. He said that catch was taken cleanly though third umpire had another view. The replay was not clear and the third umpire went in favor of the batsman.

Warne mentioned that, Ganguly approached the umpire and forced him to ask the third umpire. This is against the rule as the batsman cannot force the umpire for decisions.

All this happened in the crucial encounter for Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals in Jaiper, which was comfortably won by Rajasthan Royals by 45 runs.

This is the fourth continous win for Rajasthan Royals and third continous defeat for Kolkata Knight Riders lead by Ganguly and owned by Sharukh Khan.
