A disappointed Pune Warriors captain Sourav Ganguly feels that post-mortem not needed immediately about his teams disastrous performance in the fifth edition of Indian Premier League.Any post-mortem that needs to be done should be done after some time. Right now, the boys need to get away from here and go back to their respective homes.Its very hard for them too. They have selected to win matches and that hasnt happened. Its a new franchise and things will only get better from here on. We need to look at a lot of things like team selections, an upset Ganguly said at the post-match presentation ceremony.About his future in the IPL, Ganguly said, I havent thought about it. KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir said that they treated this match as a quarterfinal.We knew that this was a virtual quarterfinal for us. Now we would like to win the next two matches and win the tournament. Finishing in the top two gives us two chances to qualify for the final which is a good thing.Man-of-the-match Shakib Al Hasan was happier with the fact that he made a significant contribution with the bat.I had a good hit in the nets yesterday. I felt confident and the strip also suited my style of batting. It was like a wicket in Bangladesh.
