The Kolkata Knight Riders replaced the captain before the crucial game against the Mumbai Indians on Friday night. Dinesh Karthik has been replaced by Ain Morgan, the captain of the world winning team from England. KKR, however, claimed that Karthik himself had handed over the captain’s witness to Morgan. However, in the past history of various franchises in the IPL, it is clear that Dinesh has been ‘forced’ to resign from the captaincy. This decision proves once again that franchises have no place to fail in a ruthless and disinterested world.
There are more examples of a captain change in the middle of the tournament at the IPL. In 2016, Gautam Gambhir was removed from the Delhi captaincy. That Gambhir, who made Calcutta champion twice. Shreyas Iyer was appointed captain of Delhi in his place. Gambhir was not included in the team after that. This member of the Indian World Cup winning team retired from cricket. Just one month before the start of the IPL in 2016, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was removed and Steve Smith of Australia was named captain of the Rising Pune Super Giants.
Successive KKR failures led to Morgan replacing Karthik as captain. Morgan is back at KKR again this year. He had previously played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2010. He played for KKR from 2011 to 2013. He did not play for IPL in 2014. He played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015 and 2016. He played for Kings XI Punjab in 2016 and 2017. He did not play in IPL in 2019 But this is the first time he will be a captain.
On the other hand, Karthik became the captain of KKR in 2016. Seba played the KKR playoffs under his leadership. In 2019, KKR finished fifth in the IPL table. Since the beginning of this year, questions have been raised about the form of Karthik himself and his captaincy. In fact, there were many riots in the Knights’ family last year when the team’s star hitter, Andre Russell, was removed from the batting order. Russell himself angrily opened his mouth about it. This time too, Karthik has come under fire for bringing Sunil Narine on the ball late or constantly changing Rahul Tripathi’s batting order. This time his form at bat is not so ahamri. KKR is currently at number 4 in the league table. So far he has hit 6 of 6 games. 5 of them failed. He scored 56 runs in the only game against Punjab. That is the highest at the moment. In the last match he scored 1 run of 2 balls against Bangalore. In all, Karthik’s total runs in the 2020 IPL are 106. Average 15.42. Morgan, on the other hand, has scored 175 runs so far. Maximum 44. Average 35. Exercise rate 129.62. Which is ahead of Karthik in all respects.

Morgan Kirtik is a couple of yojanas ahead of the success of the mere captaincy. He led England to the World Cup last year. He has also been England captain in T20 cricket. He also reached the final of the World Cup. However, Morgan’s team lost to the West Indies in that match at Eden. Still, judging from all angles, he’s way ahead of Karthik in terms of weight and weight. Now let’s see how successful Morgan is in his role as KKR. KKR still has 6 games to play in the IPL. The game against Mumbai on Friday. Those are the last champions. He has also been playing consistently well this year. Therefore, in the first game, the test of Captain Morgan.
