Last season was a turbulent time for Kolkata Knight Riders. The captain had to be replaced in the middle of the season, which created a heated debate. However, current captain Ain Morgan said the process of handing over the leadership was smooth. No problem was created anywhere.

Despite winning the first match of the IPL this time, Kolkata lost the second match. Next Sunday's fight is against Virat Kohli's RCB. Earlier, Morgan said, “I was happy to talk about leadership. I have captained for many years. The responsibility has been handed over in a very smooth manner. ”

Morgan credits two people behind it. "Buzz (coach Brendon McCallum) and Abhishek Nayar (assistant coach) have been instrumental in talking to the cricketers," he said. Their relationship with everyone on the team is so good that no new problems have been created. I haven't thought about it for so long. ”

Morgan added, "We knew the decision was not made out of emotion. Karthik argued a lot. Thinking about the team, he unselfishly agreed to step down in the middle of the season. Kurdish his courage. ”

Karthik also opened his mouth about this incident. "I wanted to give Morgan a chance because he needed it. I played seven matches, there were seven left. So he had enough time. If I had been the captain even after playing so badly, it would have been very unfair. In the two and a half years I have led the team, I have been able to gain their confidence. That was important as a leader. ”
