Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly’s core team includes Ricky Ponting
Team for inaugural clash against Bangalore Royal Challengers to be decided later, Knight Riders play practice match in Eden Gardens, Koltata
Kolkata Knight Riders captain and icon player Sourav Ganguly has formed a core team to plot the strategy for his team’s success in IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team is owned by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. Shah Rukh Khan just a few days admitted that the IPL is giving him sleepless nights.
Sourav’s core team reportedly includes Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and former Aussie coach John Buchanan, one of the astute cricketing minds in the world today. John Buchanan is now the coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders team.
Sourav Ganguly has kept mum on the final eleven for the inaugural match against Bangalore on April 18.
Sourav Ganguly will join the nets at Eden gardens on Wednesday.
The Knight Riders also reportedly played a practice match at the behest of Buchanan. The key worry of Kolkata Knight Riders is the inability of Pak speedster Shoaib Akhtar to participate following a 5-year ban slapped on him by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
