The King Khan aka the Bollywood legend and the pride owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL team, Shah Rukh Khan has apologized to the former Indian skipper and legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar over the latter remarks on the multiple captaincy theory.

Before leaving for South Africa for the upcoming season of the IPL, SRK said, "I have not said anything against Gavaskar. I just wanted to have a breathing space to try something new. I have sent him an apology letter if he felt so."

"If Gavaskar asks me to walk on my head and run the team, I would. Anything that Gavaskar says that has to do with cricket, if he mentions, should be followed," said the actor.

However, SRK also pointed out that people are making comments without understanding what the concept of multiple captaincy theory.

It can be recalled that the whole controversy started last month when KKR coach Buchanan unveiled his plan for several skippers, thus forcing out Ganguly from lone captaincy. The former Aussie coach named Brendon McCullum, Chris Gayle, Brad Hodge and Sourav Ganguly as the four skippers for the team for IPL Season 2.

For that reason, Gavaskar, through his column in a national daily, critisized Buchanan for advocating a team to be lead by multiple captains.

The IPL Season 2 is all set to start with a bang in South Africa from April 18.
