Ganguly upset with Buchanan, Says he was never consulted over the KNR multiple captaincy decision


This year the Indian Premier League has more controversies than the matches itself. Here’s another one in its kitty. Kolkata Knight Riders has decided not to have a fixed captain for the IPL this season. Ganguly however chews his own word with a grim-looking plastic smile & quotes, “I am not upset.’ And superficially laughs off the rumors. A grim-looking Ganguly, sitting beside Buchanan at the press conference, refused to elaborate on the decision and simply said the concept was new and needed to be evaluated as it goes on. Ganguly said the plan was Buchanan's. "He is the coach of the team and he has got the right to make decisions. We'll see as it goes along. At the end of the day we all have to deliver."

Buchanan said the prospect of Ganguly not being a mechanical choice in the XI was not an issue at the moment. "All we are doing right at this stage is that we have no concept of the schedule, what it looks like and where we are playing - all those sorts of things. Whether Sourav is in the side in three weeks or four weeks time at this stage is irrelevant." Obviously Ganguly fans are extremely upset over this decision & are venting their anger over it. Any publicity is good publicity & IPL is getting just that.
