frankly speaking saurav is no longer a fit player. He is there in the team because of SRK. SRK knows saurav is Business than cricket. saurav is benali's ego. So good advertisement revenues.

I said "could have caught" not "caught". I was pointing to fit for nothing media in india.
SRKs publicity stunt fooled all media channels. These people do it for publicity and personal enthu towards fame. bollywood people are experts in fooling media.

may be u r true. But it is also true that many of them are "not not dumb". (-ve of -ve = positive) testing moderator algos
How many local players, Maybe 47, How many got chance to play only 5-6, Even if 1 Kolkatta player is rotated in every match, Poentially 15-20 Kolkatta players would have got a chance.
Now ur sayin only 5-6 that means only 9% of local players got a chance.
Whereas all 5 Pakistani playr played, all Australian players played and all remaining foreign players played, So who is fool now :-)
Well, SCG is 37 or so, isn't he? How much more time does he have in a game that has no place for finesse? (SCG is a finesse player, not a brute force hitter). He can't field, can't bowl (cannon fodder in T20). U mean KKR will fold up in the next 2 yrs? If so, good riddance, and take the rest of IPL with you. Miserable game, this, T20...

KKR only profit making franchise partly because of saurav's involvement... in the last season... all these hogus pogus will go away once the franchise owners start bleeding in a big way.... everyone would auction their teams off... even if they become the champ... so bottom line is SRK will never leave KKR until and unless he is making losses... all these winning the c'ship is bullsh*t...
