Shahrukh to overhaul Knight Riders post IPL

By By: Subhadeep Bhattacharjee

Shahrukh Khan will take a call on the fate of Kolkata Knight Riders at the end of the IPL season. Sources close to Shahrukh say that coach John Buchanan might face the axe after this season. His multiple captaincy theory and making Brendon McCullum the skipper has backfired. Shahrukh who had backed Buchanan in all this is now seriously upset with the coach.

There were initial rumours that Shahrukh was planning to sell the team but he later turned down these rumours. Now that Shahrukh is not selling the team a major overhaul is on the cards. It is a well known fact that Shahrukh had never put pressure on his boys unlike people like Vijay Mallya who had done a reshuffle with the management in the middle of the IPL last year.

Shahrukh is terribly upset with his team's performance that he has decided not to go back to South Africa unless they start winning. He has even started avoiding the media with whom he is otherwise very friendly. Shahrukh is waiting for this season of the IPL to end to make some hard decisions as he does not want to create a panic in the already demoralised team.
