Confirmed! Dada - Dav Combinations For SRK's KKR

In a blow to John Buchanan, not only has he lost his place, but also, Sourav Ganguly is right back where Buchanan did not want him - captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders.
While none of the moves were intended to spite the former Australian coach, the decision signal from the Shah Rukh Khan owned KKR team suggest that the team wants to make and sound all the right notes to ensure the IPL 3 is not a debacle like the previous two editions.
The KKR management has announced that Dav Whatmore will take over as the KKR coach while Sourav Ganguly will be the KKR captain. Buchanan’s popularity, if there was one, tanked after he stretched his multiple captain theory in front of the media and fans while Ganguly clearly miffed. New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum suffered a torrid time as captain as KKR fell from sixth position in the first IPL in India to eighth and bottom in the IPL 2 in South Africa.
Now it appears for better or for worse, Shah Rukh Khan is no mood to offend the Dada loving public of Kolkata and decided to try revive sporting interests once more with a man who appears hungry to give more.

Amongst additional charges, Wasim Akram has been appointed a mentor, but some confusion prevails about his role with the Delhi Daredevils then. Former Indian wicket keeper, Vijay Dahiya, has been appointed Whatmore’s assistant while Andrew Leipus will remain physiotherapist and Adrian Le Roux the physical trainer.
