"It's team Pune for me all the way. And I know, majority of people here will also be supporting for their 'Dada' when he will play at Eden Gardens against Knight Riders," Dona said.
"He gives them a more intense feeling of being one of their own rather than their home team. That's Sourav. He can bind people beyond borders. He has followers everywhere," she said remembering KKR's win in Delhi.
"I was flooded with messages from Delhi that day despite the home team losing. I was so overwhelmed. I'm proud to be his wife."
Many people here feel that Ganguly would want to prove a point against his former outfit that had shunned the former India skipper after a bitter three-season association.
Ganguly was left unsold at the 2011 IPL auction but true to his style the left-handed batsman made a comeback in Pune colours as he is set to use the visitors dressing room for the first time at the Eden, a ground where he grew up playing cricket.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader and former West Bengal Minister Asok Bhattacharya said Ganguly belongs more to Kolkata than the entire Knight Riders team.
