Another game for KXIP, another defeat and another utterance of word “character” from the world’s richest man in character. Its amazing that despite having oodles of character and showing it aplenty on the field, the lad chose to pick an Englishman over an Indian selected in World T20 and an express just retired from Tests but selected in T20 Australian to bowl 17th and 19th over to virtually seal a defeat for the side.
Showing of character elsewhere leads to victories, but supposedly for this men it leads to defeats. First to their countries and now their franchisees.
Change of captain in both franchisees (2009 and 2010) led them to be the wooden spoon holders, both were southpaws who were replaced and those who replaced were wicketkeepers. And one of those who was replaced this year is natural successor for the man who was replaced in 2009 in his national Test team. The coaches who replaced the respective men were Aussies. One of the replaced men in 2009 led the charge for his team to be # 1 in Tests and when he quit the international game, the 2010 replacement took over his place.
The 2009 replaced man was a mentor to the man replaced in 2010.
