It was not a happy homecoming for Sourav Ganguly's Pune Warriors as the visitors at Eden Gardens lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 runs on Saturday.

# The above partnership is the highest for any wicket for Pune Warriors against Kolkata in the IPL.

# Sunil Narine has received his second Man of the Match award in the IPL for his superb bowling performance.

# Kolkata have won seven and lost three out of eleven played (NR 1) in the IPL 5. They are placed second (15 points) in the Points table behind Delhi Daredevils' tally of 16.

# Kolkata's winning % of 48.46 is their highest in the IPL - 31 wins and 33 defeats out of 65 played (Tied 1).

# Kolkata's thrilling seven-run win is their second narrowest by runs margin in the IPL - the smallest being by 5 runs against Bangalore at Kolkata on May 8, 2008.

# Sourav Ganguly (36) has averaged 21.21 for Pune Warriors in the IPL - 297 runs in 16 matches. He is yet to record a fifty for Pune.

  • Gambhir: The turnout was fantastic, the crowd was supporting both teams. Was important for us to take the advantage in the first few overs because we knew that the pitch was going to slow down. We need to do better otherwise in the second half of the innings. Lot of credit to the bowlers for the way they defended the low score.
  • Ganguly: We are getting close, but not getting over the line, good to play at Eden Gardens. Lost too many wickets at the start, Narine bowled superbly, if wasn't there we would have probably won the game. We need to bat well at the top of the innings. Need to start performing in the middle, talks are okay but need to start winning.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
