As emotions rose among fans in Kolkata,many of who protested on the streets,after Sourav Ganguly went unsold at the IPL auction,Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan said that he would try to use the experience of the former Indian captain in a different capacity. I have spoken to Sourav over phone. We will try to use him in a different capacity, Shah Rukh was quoted as saying by a Bengali television channel.
Ganguly was shocked to see that his name didnt come up even in the second round of the auction. I dont know what happened. Its up to the teams to decide on the players but I didnt expect to go unsold. Its hard to believe that I dont figure among the 100-odd cricketers, Ganguly said on Sunday. KKR CEO Venky Mysore had already said that Ganguly was not in their scheme of things.
