Eoin Morgan replaces Dinesh Karthik as captain of KKR.

Official Statement from KKR :

Dinesh Karthik has informed the KKR management that with a view to focus on his batting and contributing more to the team’s cause, he wishes to handover the team's captaincy to Eoin Morgan.

Venky Mysore, CEO of KKR said “we are fortunate to have leaders such as DK, who has always put the team first. It takes a lot of courage for someone like him to take a decision such as this. While we were surprised by his decision, we are respectful of his wishes. We are also fortunate that Eoin Morgan, the 2019 World Cup-winning captain, who has been the vice captain, is willing to lead the side going forward. DK and Eoin have worked brilliantly together during this tournament and although Eoin takes over as captain, this is effectively a role swap and we expect that this transition will work in a seamless manner”

On behalf of everyone at Kolkata Knight Riders, we thank DK for all his contributions as the captain over the past two and a half years and wish Eoin the very best going forward.

These mid season captain changes were never worked. Not only that it will weigh on the morale of the team. Surely KKR should have known better, they are one of the worst management sides after Punjab regarding these mid season changes. If its a change like Gautam for Delhi or Ponting's for Mumbai then they are fine. Simply changing for the sake of changing is not going to be work, instead it will deplete teams morale.

See eventhough Kane was not playing due injury for the first set of matches , SRH had kept him as captain throughout the season last season, even though their regular captain Warner was der. Thats how team managements should work.
