Ganguly said his sixth sense picked up the Knight Riders as the probable winners but the Kolkata outfit would look to avoid two-time defending champions Chennai in the summit clash on May 27.
A consistent Knight Riders put up yet another clinical show yesterday by notching an 18-run win over Delhi Daredevils to storm into the final of IPL for the first time in five years.
"My sixth sense says that KKR will win IPL this time. In sport there are several winning moments, I see them with KKR. Luck, it seems, is also with the KKR," Ganguly said referring to the toss won by Gambhir on last two occasions in Pune.
"KKR however would look to avoid facing Chennai in the final. Otherwise, they look to be the best team to win the IPL this time," he said.
"Cricket is like a circle. There is one team this year and another next year. Hope Pune Warriors India win IPL next year," he added.
The former KKR skipper further said he already had wished team co-owner Shah Rukh Khan.
"He has always been passionate with the side. The way he reacted (after the win last night) was quite normal. We are used to see his somersaults," Ganguly said about the Bollywood star's winning celebration.
Ganguly further said KKR was "lucky" to have Sunil Narine in their side as the mystery spinner was the primary reason for their success this season. (More)
