In a statement, Kolkata announced on Friday that Morgan would be the captain. He will make his IPL debut with today’s game against the Mumbai Indians.
Kolkata goalkeeper and mid-level hitter Karthik. With so much time there was leadership. He is unable to equalize in hitting due to the added pressure of three responsibilities. So far he has scored just 108 runs with an average of 15.42. So the 35-year-old cricketer has left the responsibility of leadership to focus on hitting.
Under Karthik’s leadership, Kolkata is still in a good position. They are four in the points table after winning four of the seven games of the tournament. The franchise was surprised by its decision, CEO Venki Mysore said.
“We are very fortunate to have a leader like Dinesh Karthik, who always puts the team first. It is a matter of great courage for someone like him to make that decision. Although we are surprised by his decision, we respect his wishes.”
In 2016, Kolkata replaced its captain Gautam Gambhir with Karthik. The team that played in the play-offs under his captaincy was eliminated from the league last year. They have confidence in this goalie-hitter even in this event. But this time Karthik himself renounced responsibility.
Morgan, who played for Kolkata in the IPL from 2011 to 2013, is playing for the team again. In this event, of course, he had additional responsibilities on his shoulders from the beginning, he was Kartik’s assistant. Now Mysore says they are lucky to have him as captain.
“Wayne Morgan, the captain who won the 2019 World Cup, has been our co-captain for so long, he has agreed to lead the team up front, it is also a matter of good luck for us.”
