The Kolkata Knight Riders captain was not mincing words following the defeat to the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Sourav Ganguly would have been quite confident that the KKR team would sail through against the RCB, but with his team slipping badly, he was back to his brooding self.
His disbelief was captured in his words, unedited as they are published here, "I don't mind losing, but we were pathetic on the field. Let's be honest. I can talk, I can lift them up but they need to lift themselves. I can't go and field for them. I can't go and bowl for them. When I was leading India, I had some serious talent to look after. That probably helped. Hopefully, these guys will look after themselves."
He highlighted the shambles, using the word made famous by the man who loved the Prince of Kolkata, Sir Geoffrey Boycott, thought we played good cricket for the first 10 overs and for the next 10 we were absolutely rubbish. In one line, we were rubbish."
The fury of the captain has hopefully ignited in the dressing room with the boys knowing exactly what they must do in order to not get on the captain's wrong side.
