Kolkata: Struggling in the business end of the tournament, Atletico de Kolkata will be boosted by the presence of their team co-owner Sourav Ganguly as they make a bid to make the semifinals of ISL.

The cricketer-turned-commentator Ganguly on Tuesday said he would give the first and second Test in Australia a miss and instead travel with his ISL franchise to Pune. “I will only go for the third and fourth Test. It’s an important stage of the tournament with last four games to go before the semifinals. So I will be travelling with the team,” Ganguly told reporters. That would mean Ganguly will stay till the ISL summit clash on Dec 20 before resuming his commentary assignment for the India-Australia third Test beginning on the Boxing Day. (PTI)
