Kolkata: Seamer R Vinay Kumar today threw his weight behind in-form
wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik who was a surprise choice to lead
the two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the upcoming
Indian Premier League (IPL).
KKR, who chose not to retain their
two-time IPL winning skipper Gautam Gambhir, have handed the baton to
Karthik who has big shoes to fill and will have veteran Robin Uthappa as
his deputy.
