Kolkata Knight Rider owner - Shah Rukh Khan lashed out at former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar for his harsh comments on John Buchanan’s multiple captain theory. John Buchanan, the current manager of Kolkata Knight Riders, had suggested the multiple captain theory for the IPL second season that has risen quiet a few eyebrow.India`s batting legend Gavaskar, had criticised Buchanan`s theory saying too much importance is being accorded to the Australian, who is a failed first-class cricketer and is only trying to get lucrative jobs for "his Queensland pals".
"I have great respect for Mr Gavaskar. But having said that I would like to say that please give the multiple-captain theory a breathing space to try now. If we fail we can always go back to the traditional way. I have spent lot of money on my team. If you have a problem then you buy your own team and run it the way you want." Shah Rukh said as an obvious response to Gavaskar`s comments.
Buchanan`s concept has generated lot of controversy ahead of the April 18 to May 24 IPL to be held in eight cities of South Africa. Sourav Ganguly, who led the team last year, had expressed resentment to the multiple captain idea.The former India captain and Buchanan have had lengthy discussions with Shah Rukh at his residence to thrash out the issues.
Shah Rukh also expressed hope that his team would perform much better than last year.
