Is it Sharukh's bad luck or is it due to team's bad performance.. that Knight Rider is losing day??

According to me its lack of creativity how on earth you explain inclusion of test discard Akash Chopra in a t20 game. Also if laxmi shukla and wriddhiman saha are ur match winners whyt not put them up the order. Why is agarkar only playing as a baller have u forgotten his batting capablities dude he has a got 4 ODI 50s against his name. All their captain need to do is some out of box thinking.

No not his overconfidence but lack of understanding of the game simple. If he was over confident then we wud see him opening in all the games overconfidence is when he wud persist with his failed players but didnt do that. This shows lack of confidence on his part.

How could you blame them. What are other players doing. You cannot expect them to perfom every match.

ganguly has performed well in just one match and what happened to other matches. Im not blaming McCullum, i meant to say about his departure.

McCullum gone and the spirits took a beating from the initial high euphoric temper.

It's bye bye for the kolkata Knight riders and rightly so i just hated this team ,just for the hype they created. More then the game it was Sharukh Khan who was creating it and now he has stopped making it to the team matches

There's no such thing as bad luck for Knight Riders its simply their bad performance. The team was haevily dependent on its top players and when Pointng and Mccullum went Knight Riders fell apart.

Well the way Sharukh Khan is involved in the game, i feel the Team is losing because of its over confidence. Sharukh Khan doest not understand the game. He can act well in the films but cricket is different. He one days backs the players and other day comments on them. I think there is lots of things going on in the dressing room which is affecting the performance of the team

I think its the main cause. When you dont have good relationship with the players, the players confidence will come down and so do their performance.

Kolkata knight riders lost matches not because of shahrukh khan's bad luck but because of poor performance of the knights. They are performing in patches. Bowling lacks the lethality. Fielding seems to lethargic. Batting is not good and most of the time incapable of scoring fast runs. Bowlers don't have enough runs on board to defend.openers fail to give the start which is very much needed for any form of cricket.

the main cause of knight riders losing is their extremely poor performance with batting. apart from a few games their batting has been very average. the early departure of mccullum and ricky ponting has only added to their batting sorrows. though sourav and salman butt have had good performances but the problem is lack of consistency which is most important at this level. kolkata have a very strong team and an experienced and a strong captain...all they need is to get their combinations right. their bowling attack is very strong with speedsters like shoiab akhtar, ishant sharma, agarkar and ashok dinda and they can still end the league on a good note although their chances of entering the final are almost over......

I guess Shah rukh thought Ganguly can work up some magic that made him winningest caption of India. Bt i guess he forgot about the Sachins, Sreenaths Dravids etc etc
