Kevin Pieterson to Captain Bangalore Royal Challengers IPL team?

Well, there are news that the new recruit by Vijaya Mallya's Bangalore Royal Challengers, Kevin Pieterson might be seen as the captain for the bangalore IPL team in the 2009 season.

Kevin peiterson was bought for a whopping $1.55 million by the bangalore ipl franchisee. Now the news that peiterson can captain the bangalore side won't impress the current bangalore team skipper Rahul Dravid.

Bangalore royal challengers' performance in the last IPL season was very poor, and the team management had also sacked a few members from the management. There was some controversy on that.

Let's wait and watch if Kevin Peiterson would really end up being the captain for the bangalore IPL team, and if he proves his worth of being bought for $1.5 million.
