Sourav Ganguly will be back as the Kolkata Knight Riders captain for season III of the Indian Premier League.

New Zealand capatin Brendon McCullum, who had led the Knight Riders side in South Africa during the IPL season 2, will be unavailable for the next season of the cash-rich league due to national duties.

Hence, retired Indian captain Ganguly is all set to make another comeback as the skipper of the IPL team.

According to sources, Ganguly and Knight Riders franchisee owner Shah Rukh Khan have discussed about the captaincy issue in London.
