Following Coach Buchanan theory of multiple captains, Kolkata Knight Riders has appointed New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum as the new captain for IPL season 2.

The team is scheduled to play its first match for the series on April 19 against Deccan Chargers, in which McCullum will lead the team.

It is worth mentioning here that a war of words was escalated between John Buchanan and Sourav Ganguly escalated with Buchanan, the Kolkata Knight Riders’ coach, saying that he had already discussed with Sourav Ganguly the controversial theory of multiple captains for the team before making the announcement in a press conference.

However, Ganguly had denied any knowledge of this development, but Buchanan insisted that the two had had discussions on the issue during the IPL’s first season.

Buchanan is expected to announce more names who will lead the team during IPL 2 as per the theory of multiple captains.
