New Zealand' wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum has replaced the team’s iconic player, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly as captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad for the second edition of DLF Indian Premier League starting here on Saturday.
Ganguly has taken the decision in his stride and will contribute to the team's cause, supporting McCullum on the field along with senior cricketers like Chris Gayle.
The Knight Riders's captaincy has been a topic of much speculation after its Australian coach-cum-director John Buchanan came up with the idea of having multiple skippers. Ganguly himself was critical of the idea and he has had many supporters.
Team owner Shah Rukh Khan also supported Buchanan’s idea of trying out something new.
