The Bollywood King's Cricket Experiment

Shah Rukh Khan, the self-proclaimed king of Bollywood, is an experimental man nowadays. His IPL cricket team known as KKR (Kolkatta Knight Riders) is a well-known team out of all the other teams playing in IPL. KKR might have got this huge reputation because of its owner – Shah Rukh Khan. Buchanan, the manager of KKR, suddenly became notorious in cricketing circles for his multi-captaincy theory. As per Buchanan and Shah Rukh, the multi-captaincy theory works well for KKR’s winning strategy in IPL 2009. The strategy of having a Bowling Captain, Batting Captain, an overall Captain, etc, will put KKR in lead, as per Buchanan’s theory. Ganguly, the hitherto captain of KKR team, has been miffed by this multi-captaincy theory. The cricket fans of India, who fondly calls Ganguly as DADA, were upset by Buchanan and Shah Rukh’s strategy of multi-captaincy.

Extending this controversy, noted old-time Cricket player, Gavaskar, commented against the multi-captaincy theory.
