Even though Sourav Ganguly played in the IPL for just five seasons, he had an impact on the game during his first three years when he was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders. In the three seasons for KKR, he scored 1031 runs in 40 matches, with 7 half-centuries and high-score of 91 against Deccan Chargers.

Coming into the 2011 auction after a brilliant season with KKR, where he scored 493 runs in 14 matches at a breath-taking average of 37.92, everyone expected the franchises to engage in a tug of war for Ganguly but that was not the case. No franchise showed interest, including KKR, a team that had 'Dada' as the face. He was later selected by Pune Warriors and featured in two seasons before calling it quits.

However, Ganguly did not have a great time with Pune and he scored just 318 runs in 19 matches in the two years combined and did not manage to score a single half-century. His highest score with Pune Warriors was 45.
