John Buchanan wanted to sack Sourav Ganguly as KKR skipper: Aakash Chopra

Former Team IndiaIndiaIndia cricketer Aakash Chopra has claimed that John Buchanan wanted to remove Sourav Ganguly as the skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

The former batsman said that during the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008, both Ganguly and Buchanan shared a good relationship, but right after things went downhill.

"When IPL started in 2008, KKR had the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting, and Brendon McCullum. Ganguly was the captain and John Buchanan was the coach. The relationship between Ganguly and Buchanan was alright, to begin with, but later it went downhill," Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
