The owner of KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) Sharukh Khan has said that Gavaskar did not play any T20 and hence cannot comment on the logisitics of the game. The field placement, batting style, etc. changes in T20 and with no experience in it, he cannot talk about it.
Gavaskar ridiculed John Buchanan idea of using multiple captains for KKR in the IPL Season 2 T20. It got flake from others as well.
"I have great respect for Mr Gavaskar. I have grown up enjoying his performance as well as GR Vishwanath and Kapil's. We all respect him too much but having said that I would like to say that: please give it (the multiple-captain theory) a breathing space to try now. If we fail, we can always go back to the traditional way," Shah Rukh said at a media conference in Mumbai on Sunday to announce new initiatives with Team sponsors Nokia.
"I have spent lot of money on my team. If you have a problem then you buy your own team and run it the way you want," he said, in an obvious response to Gavaskar's comments.
"Twenty20 cricket is a new format and last time we did not do well after going by the traditional way (one captain). This time Buchanan will try multiple captaincy in the practice game before the IPL starts in South Africa and see whether he succeeds or not," the Bollywood star said.
