Taking a mild dig at Sourav Ganguly who joined Pune Warriors, Kolkata  Knight Riders’ co-owner Shah Rukh Khan on Friday said his team has done  well in the IPL without the services of the former Indian captain. Shah Rukh also said that KKR had offered Ganguly a role in the team  but he was not really game with the assignment that the franchise had in  mind for him.
 KKR, who dumped Ganguly for the ongoing season were in for a shock as  Pune Warriors roped in the former India captain as replacement player  for injured Ashish Nehra.
 “I have been often asked this question. We would have liked Dada to  play in the scheme of things we wanted,” the Bollywood superstar said  during a promotional event, making it clear that Ganguly didn’t like  what was there in the offing.
 Incidentally, KKR’s CEO Venky Mysore had earlier said before the  start of the tournament that they would like Ganguly to play the role of  a ‘mentor’ which he had refused.
 Although Shah Rukh didn’t directly point fingers at Ganguly’s  leadership skills but he did admit that there was “not one but many  reasons for the team not doing well in the previous seasons.”
 “This time we wanted to start off with a clean slate. We wanted to  give the reins to the coaching staff. And they have done wonderfully.  The team has been doing well,” Shah Rukh commented.
 The superstar however admitted that some of the old KKR players like Chris Gayle “came back to haunt” his team.
 Shah Rukh in a diplomatic style, concluded, “Dada is my favourite  player. But we need to move on. I wish him all the best with Pune  Warriors and hope that he does really well.”
