Shahrukh said that the multiple captain policy was only an experiment and asserted that Ganguly was not being sidelined by Coach Buchanan.
He said "Let me tell you, there is no Kolkata Knight Riders without Dada. We love him".
"There is no KKR without Ganguly". These were the words of Shahrukh Khan, when asked about the recent spat between Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan.
Shahrukh said that the decision to have different captains was in no way meant to disrupt Dada's position and status as an iconic player.
"We are a team and no decision is taken by one person.
Twenty20 is a new format and new things are being tried. Too much has been said, we are not having four captains in one match. It's going to be one captain in one match. But in case something goes wrong, we need to have a back-up", SRK said.
Shahrukh's comments come a day after it was announced that the KKR's squad and captain for the IPL were to be decided in South Africa and not India. The team's director Joy Bhattacharya, after the conclusion of the 6 day conditioning camp, had mentioned "I don't want to disclose the names of the players who would be going to South Africa now as we want to keep all options open". "We might take the whole squad which took part in the conditioning camp to South Africa. Nothing has been finalised right now. The final team for KKR would be announced in South Africa", he added.
Now we shouldn't be worried about Dada's rank and position in our heart. :)
Dada is our hero also today.
