Sourav Ganguly back as KKR captain

India
November 7, 2009 1:25am CST
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly returned as captain for next year's Indian Premier League, replacing New Zealand's Brendon McCullum. In the last IPL season KKR finished in the bottom of the table. And also there lots of controversy for the place of captain. McCullum was failed as a captain and batsman in the last season. Now Dada returned to the position and do you think is it a right decision..?? My opinion is Ganguly is better than McCullum...

If the controversies could have been minused I feel the KKNR could have done better than other teams. When people are not in the same boat it becomes really difficult to have control on all those are supposed to be there. I think with captaincy to Saurav the KKNR would do better.

You are right KKR is a good team but the controversies hunt them in the last two seasons.. I think the main reason is Sharukh.

Yes Saurav has the personality who manages things as they are necessary. There are good players in the KKR and I feel they would come up to their potential.

Dada has a great presence in a team. He is a great leader and his enthusiasm and aggression rubs off on the other players which is a very good thing. Lets see what happens this season. Hope he can turn the fortunes of KKR in the next IPL.

Do you think that Ponting is better than Dada? I didnt agree that because in the IPL Dada is better he can adjust with Indian players.. I think Ponting cant.. He is a good captain... But...

I like Dada's batting than ricky ponting..But u knows better the captancy of Ricky ponting..I think if someone became a captain he will not play well..look at the example of McCllum how he played in 1st season and how he played in the 2nd season of IPL.So thats why i told Ricky should be the captain..

Yes friend Dada is alltime great cricket player. And his leadership quality is unique and much much better than McCullum. Now we can expect quality cricket from KKR.

Hi,yes,Dada is famous for his leadership quality and he took the team to victory side many times.Some times he is very rash and which requires some time,particularly when play with Australia and Pakistan.All the best and have a nice time.

well i think he is always the obvious choice. McCullum is nothing in front of Saurav when it comes to the skills as captain. Plus Saurav knows the india players and conditions well and so he can do better for the team.

Yes, that is the first decision of new coach Dav Whatmore. It was clear from the last IPL season that Brendon Mccullum was no good. So it was a question between Ganguly and Ricky Ponting and I guess the team unity factor went for Ganguly as he knows the players better than Ponting. Cheers! Ram
