Whatmore to start Knight Riders stint

Kolkata: Dav Whatmore will begin his coaching stint with IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders with a two-day camp from November 30 at the Eden Gardens.

According to sources KKR has called in Saurashtra's hard hitting opener Chirag Pathak and all-rounder Balkrishna Jadeja for the camp.

Pathak incidentally had attended a KKR trial under former coach John Buchanan last year.

Apparently KKR Captain Sourav Ganguly is impressed with Pathak's aggressive ton for Saurashtra against Bengal in the ongoing Ranji trophy match.
