I’m back. I’m hungry. I’m No.23. Ami KKR: Gautam Gambhir Returns as Kolkata Knight Riders Mentor for IPL 2024
In a heartfelt reunion, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have welcomed back former captain Gautam Gambhir as their mentor for the upcoming IPL 2024 season. The prodigious Indian opener, who led KKR to IPL triumphs in 2012 and 2014, returns to the franchise that holds a special place in his cricketing journey.
Gambhir’s homecoming follows his departure from the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), where he served as a mentor since the team’s inception in 2022. During his stint with LSG, Gambhir played a pivotal role in shaping strategies and instilling a winning culture, guiding them to consecutive playoff appearances.
The decision to bring Gambhir back to KKR is more than a strategic move; it’s a nod to his exceptional leadership and mentorship qualities. Known for his aggressive captaincy and unwavering determination, Gambhir is set to offer invaluable insights to the young KKR squad.
Expressing his joy, Gambhir stated, “Returning to KKR, a franchise close to my heart, is an honor. I’m thrilled to contribute to the team’s ongoing success wearing the Purple and Gold once again.”
KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan echoed the sentiment, expressing delight at Gambhir’s return. “Gautam’s comeback is a significant moment for KKR. His passion, experience, and leadership will be a tremendous asset, and we eagerly anticipate his impact in the upcoming IPL season.”
The stage is set for a synergistic collaboration between Gambhir’s seasoned wisdom and KKR’s young talent, promising an exciting journey in the 2024 IPL.
