McCullum Not Quitting, Racism Didn't Happen, No Match Fixing and No Dada?
Sreelata Yellamrazu | May 17 2009

The Kolkata Knight Riders team may have ruled high on brand value but there could not have been a team with more volatility than Shah Rukh Khan’s KKR.
Shah Rukh Khan’s IPL 2 team quickly found themselves relegated to the pretenders category but for controversies, they have continued to hog the limelight.
From whether John Buchanan’s multiple captaincy theory was at work or not, was Sourav Ganguly’s dismissal from the captaincy post politically motivated or not, whether Ajit Agarkar was really racially abused or simply told off by Andy Bichel, whether Brad Hodge’s absence in the game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore was a case of match fixing or something less sinister, whether Sourav “Dada” Ganguly has indeed decided to never take up the KKR captaincy again, these have continued to dog the team.
Brendon McCullum, when he took over the captaincy of the KKR team, had stated that he would quit the captaincy of the team if they do not make it to the semi finals. As it turned out, the team was the first to be relegated to the bottom and rather early in the tournament to turn into a fizzle.
Now it appears McCullum would like to know what is happening in the team before making a final decision. His delayed decision could have something to do with the fact that the KKR are widely reported to be in talks with former Australian captain Steve Waugh in a possible role replacing Buchanan to help the KKR from picking themselves from the bottom.
IPL 2 may be drawing to a close. But it appears that the team news from the KKR dressing room is not likely to end any time soon.
