Keshav Maharaj details Sourav Ganguly’s influence in Pretoria Capitals’ run to SA20 final: ‘He gives you…’

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the SA20 final, Pretoria Capitals captain Keshav Maharaj discussed Ganguly's appointment and expressed excitement for the campaign.

"He is quite positive, very excessive with information, because he wants the best out of his players. He gives you equal love, care and attention, that is required. He has made everyone a part of the squad," he added.

It is Ganguly's first-ever stint as head coach, and it started with setbacks as the Capitals crashed to defeats in their first two matches. But under guidance, the franchise fought back and has now qualified for the final.

Ganguly has been praised for his tactical impact and leadership. Such qualities were already known during his stint as India captain. His tactical ideas were best justified during Pretoria's Qualifier 1 win vs Sunrisers. Chasing 171 runs, they reached 172/3 in 18.3 overs as Dewald Brevis slammed an unbeaten knock of 75* runs off 38 balls, laced with four fours and seven sixes.
