Shah Rukh Khan asks Gavaskar to buy his own team

Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday took a dig at former India captain Sunil Gavaskar for ridiculing John Buchanan’s multiple captain theory, saying he should buy a team and run it the way he wants.

Former Australia World Cup winning coach Buchanan, who is now manager of Kolkata Knight Riders, had suggested the multiple captain theory for the IPL second season that has ruffled a few feathers, including that of former India skipper Sourav Ganguly. “I have great respect for Mr Gavaskar. I have grown up enjoying his performance as well as KR Vishwanath and Kapil’s. We all respect him too much but having said that I would like to say that please give the multiple captain theory a breathing space. If we fail we can always go back to the traditional way,” The Bollywood star said he had a lot of money riding on the team and would like to run it as he deems fit. “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.
