Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly is not fully convinced that former Aussie coach John Buchanan's multiple captaincy theory for Kolkata Knight Riders in the forthcoming Indian Premier League would work.
Despite admiting that he was not upset with Buchanan's plans, which might put an end to his captaincy tenure in the IPL on Wednesday, the Kolkata star has indicated that he does not fully back the idea as such a concept has never been tried in sports.
"Tomorrow I can jump out and say we need four batting coaches, four John Buchanans and Shah Rukh Khan can say we need six Andy Bichels," Ganguly said in an interview to NDTV.
"These are all opinions. These are the way they are thinking how Twenty20 cricket can be played. We'll have to wait and see because it's completely new, it has never happened in sports," he added.
The southpaw, who said that he came to know of his team coach's plans through the media, insisted that he was not consulted on this by the team management.
"On Tuesday, John mooted the idea to me," Ganguly has been quoted as saying in Times of India.
"All I can say is that I was not consulted on this. Frankly, it's a new concept. It may work, it may not. There are no guarantees in sport," he added.
