Kolkata (West Bengal): After bagging Eoin Morgan for INR 5.25 crore, Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) coach Brendon McCullum on Thursday said that the England limited-overs skipper will serve as the perfect foil for Dinesh Karthik.

McCullum also cleared that Dinesh Karthik would indeed be the captain to lead KKR. "Dinesh Karthik is definitely our captain. Eoin Morgan is one of the best leaders going around, he will be a perfect foil for Dinesh Karthik. In the last couple of years, Morgan has played freely and he is a key player," McCullum told reporters here at Kolkata.
