SPORT GANGULY 2 LAST

Insisting that Ganguly's position as captain is not
merely ceremonial, the outfit said the former India skipper
would be the "key driving force" who would "shape the cricket
team" and "would be responsible for all cricket related
decisions with regards to the 2010 season."

After leading the team in the inaugural IPL, Ganguly fell
out with the then coach John Buchanan, who first mooted the
"multi-captaincy" idea, which did not find favour with the
management.
McCullum led the side in the second IPL but came a
cropper.
Hailing Whatmore's appointment, KKR co-owner Jay Mehta
said, "Dav has the right vision not only for the team, but for
each of the players, and for the franchise as a whole. He is
very aware of our current position in IPL and knows that there
is only one way to go now—up."
Whatmore, on his part, said he was looking forward to
working with Ganguly.
"I am optimistic about the season ahead and have the
utmost faith in Sourav, the team, and KKR Management and look
forward to a successful tournament. I will be working closely
with the team to continue building KKR into a successful
franchise both on and off field," he said. PTI AY
