Kerala pacer Sreesanth doesn't think Dinesh Karthik should be leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in presence of Eoin Morgan. His tweet came after KKR's loss against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Sharjah.
KKR failed to chase down 229 at a ground which is favorable for batsmen. They fell 18 runs short of the target despite Morgan (44) and Rahul Tripathi's (36) hitting in the last few overs of their chase.
Karthik was criticized for his captaincy moves after KKR lost the match. Knight Riders made poor bowling changes and also their decision to open with Sunil Narine was surprising with a specialist opener Tripathi in the side.
Taking to Twitter, Sreesanth was clear with his words. He wants KKR to be led by England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan.
"Genuinely feel @Eoin16 should lead the side,(surly not*dk kolaimandaaaiii) World Cup winning captain should surly lead ipl side.I hope #kkr looks at this issue.nd win. they need a leader who will lead from front like Rohit, Dhoni or Virat..what a player," he tweeted.
Kolkata is at number five in the points table with two wins in four matches. This could have been their hat-trick of wins had they won the match.
