Gavaskar flays Buchanan's captaincy theory

New Delhi: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has lashed out at Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan and his multipule captaincy theory.

In his coloumn in Sunday's Hindustan Times, Gavaskar has said that Indian media gives undue importance to Buchanan, who he said is a failed first-class cricketer making a living telling international players to do what he couldn't do.

On Buchanan's multiple captaincy theory Gavaskar writes, "To comment on his multiple skipper theory is to give it the importance it doesn't deserve but what does require comment is how he has got his Queensland pals lucrative jobs with KKR.

"They have a very big support staff which includes his son and most of them are from Queensland. The owners - poor souls - have little idea that they are being milked."
