McCullum may lead Kolkata Knight Riders

New Delhi: After Bangalore Royal Challengers, it is the turn of the Kolkata Knight Riders to get a new skipper.


Sources say Sourav Ganguly is unwilling to carry on as captain of the team and could step down. And the man who is tipped to replace him is New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon MCCullum.


The Knight riders management has in fact spoken to McCullum about taking over from Ganguly who retired from international cricket last October.


Mccullum had started the first season of the IPL with a bang with a smashing unbeaten 158 off just 73 balls in the 1st match of the tournament against Bangalore Royal Challengers.


Also, unlike Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and Windies captain Chris Gayle, McCullum is available for the entire duration of the tournament.
