Is John Buchanan ready to face the axe?

Even as the Shah Rukh Khan owned Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders’ slumped to their 7th loss in 9 matches, speculations are rife over the future of the team’s cricket director John Buchanan.

Sources suggest that the axe for their poor performance will fall on coach John Buchanan.

Apart from drawing flak for the team’s dismal performance for the second successive IPL season, the former Australian coach also gave rise to a controversy in the team over his multiple-captaincy theory.

Also, the massive support staff that’s faced much flak is expected to resign at the end of this season.

Kolkata lost their 7th straight game against Delhi to wipe out any chances of a semi-final berth.
