And Ganguly does it again, back as KKR captain
Kolkata, November 6: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly returned as the Kolkata Knight Riders' skipper for 2010's Indian Premier League, replacing New Zealand's Brendon McCullum.
The controversy-ridden IPL outfit, which finished at the bottom of the table in 2009, also named Dav Whatmore as its new coach with Delhi Ranji coach Vijay Dahiya as his deputy.
Pakistani pace legend Wasim Akram was appointed the mentor of the side.
"Andrew Leipus and Adrian le Roux have been appointed physiotherapist and team trainer respectively," the team management said in a statement.
"The KKR management held several meetings over the past few weeks to discuss and plan the way forward for the franchise and the team."
