The Super Over shoot-out between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knights Riders emphasises the need for a team to have a strong-minded man in charge and not multiple leaders like KKR

THE game of cricket has an amazing capacity to voice an opinion in subtle ways; it did so in the frenetic confrontation that followed the first ever Indian Premier League tie.

The nail-biting finish resulted in a Super Over shoot-out between the Rajasthan Royals, the classic one-man-in-charge team and the Kolkata Knight Riders, a side currently experimenting with the concept of multiple leadership. Not surprisingly, the mercurial Royals' captain Shane Warne opted for a daring ploy; he bowled a tyro in the drama filled situation and Kamran Khan eventually prevailed over the Knight Riders' internationally acclaimed Ajantha Mendis.
