Shahrukh Khan Extends a Royal Welcome to Gautam Gambhir As Mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders Ahead of IPL 2024
Gautam Gambhir parted ways with Lucknow Super Giants.
Former Indian cricketer has joined Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as the mentor ahead of the IPL 2024.
The period from 2011 to 2017 marked a golden chapter for the Kolkata-based franchise, with Gambhir at the helm leading KKR to two IPL titles and a Champions League T20 finals appearance in 2014.
KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan has also welcomed back their former captain:
“Gautam has always been part of the family and this is our Captain coming back home in a different avatar as a “Mentor”. He was sorely missed and now we all look forward to Chandu Sir and Gautam in instilling the never-say-die spirit and of sportsmanship they stand for, in creating magic with Team KKR.”
Gautam Gambhir aims to restore Kolkata Knight Riders’ former glory following a couple of disappointing seasons, with the first step set to be taken at the IPL 2024 auction in December.
