McCullum will do a good job as KKR skipper: Ganguly

CAPE TOWN: Kolkata Knight Riders' Sourav Ganguly has said that New Zealander Brendon McCullum will do a good job as captain in the first

match.

Speaking to Times Now in an interview, Ganguly said he had no clue about why controversies followed him.

"I do not know how it happens. I think god has given me good things. I played for India for so long and also captained India for a long time. So god's been kind," Ganguly said.

On KKR owner Shahrukh Khan saying he is the 'best captain in the world', Ganguly said: " I thank him for the compliment and hopefully we do well for the Knight Riders. I' sure McCullum is going to do a good job. He's young and he is a dynamic player. He is a good Twenty20 player so hopefully we will all do well."

He also said that the team would try and do well in the second edition of the IPL.

"The team is in good shape. We had a training session in Bloomfontaine for about 10 days. I've been a part of the camp for nearly a month now starting from Kolkata. We have worked hard for it and now it is time to really do it," he said.

"Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
