after seeing the knights lose matches worser than last year,the knights couch buchanan pleaded to the IPL people to allow them to use more than 4 foreign players in the playing XI. i am not sure which is the best one,multiple captaincy or this? i can tolerate somewat with those foreign captains theory but this is plain unacceptable. IPL is SUPPOSED to be to bring up the talents of the unrecognised indian talents and not to develop the other teams talent.

Of course he would want that. I mean with the current situation of KKR what else would he do.

I have one idea let allow kkr to play with 5 foreign player. But you will get the same result, 5 player cannot win the game by their own. It is the effort of whole team to win one match. Take an example of brc , after losing some match they have bounce back strongly by the effort of all eleven player. Yot can't win match by poor batting, bowling and fielding.

totally agreed.they got some good players but nothing is going their way.may be the knights need another IPL season to understand that winning matches is all about team effort except a very few rare matches where a guy win match individually.

No offence.... As it is said it is done to bring up the talents, then the organizes should not be expecting any profit, but they do. If they had the intention of bringing up the talent, then they could have looked to develop the domestic circuit instead of this. The franchisees have invested millions of $$$. They want to see their team winning and not losing. So, they will want to try out whatever possible methods they can to win. This is my opinion, i don't want to argue.

y would i take offense when u r saying wat i have been saying ever since last IPL? IPL is all about money but modi is making sure that he dont have to say it aloud. i always wondered about this?for the world cup which is 2 years away,the ICC took almost 3 months after the lahore attack to change the venues but modi ,within 2 weeks,got the cricket south africa to agree to his request or command for a tournament which goes on for almost 2 months.may be cricket south africa also wanted to help modi in bringing up new talents.yeah sure
