Welcoming Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shahrukh Khan’s decision to have just one captain during the second IPL season in South Africa, former Indian skipper and coach Ajit Wadekar said better sense has prevailed in KKR camp at last.

“I am happy that better sense has prevailed in KKR camp and the owner of the team and film star Shahrukh Khan’s decision to have just one captain and Kiwi stumper Brendon McCullum as his deputy for the second IPL is a welcome sign,” Wadekar told Cricketnext.com here on Wednesday.

“I admire the way the Aussies play any sport. They just don’t like to lose and posses the best killer’s instinct. They are also the best finishers of a cricket match and that is the reason they are still at the top of the heap.

“They have produced some high quality cricketers and continue to do. But some times there coaching tactics are beyond anybodies’ imagination and may not work to the best interest of the team,” he added.

“I should say that Khan’s timely intervention has saved the team from a real disaster. Like in the Bollywood movies, he (Shahrukh Khan) has arrived at the right time to save the team from a certain disaster. John Buchanan’s multiple-captains theory would certainly not have worked for KKR,” Wadekar pointed out.

“Not just in cricket, but in any sport this theory would not have worked. I also strongly feel that Sourav Ganguly is the right choice to lead the team at least for this season. Sourav, Rahul (Dravid) and V V S Laxman have a lot to offer even in the shortest version of the game and it will be a mistake to dismantle them at this point of time,” he added.
