.At last better sense prevailed and the team management has taken very right decision by clearing all the mess created by the Buchanana. If the management had pulled the string at right time and controled the former coach's four captain's theory, more than four foreign player playing in the eleven and sacking the captaincy of a player who had record of becoming best captain of India ever so far, the KKR would not have had seen the bad day in the last addition of game. Now coach must find the best talents aavailable in Orissa, Bengal. Assam, Jharkhand, Bihar and North eastates and take the team to new height
