Gautam Gambhir
Preparations for IPL 2024 have started. A mini auction is to be held for this in December this year. Before this, the teams are working to strengthen their support staff. T20 World Cup is to be organized after this year’s IPL, hence it is believed that IPL will start at the end of March. Meanwhile, two big news are coming out regarding LSG and KKR. Gautam Gambhir, who has been the mentor of Lucknow Supergiants till now, is now once again going to join KKR i.e. Kolkata Knight Riders. Even before this, Gautam Gambhir has been with KKR. Under his captaincy, the team was successful in winning the IPL title twice.
Gautam Gambhir becomes mentor of KKR
There were already discussions going on about Gautam Gambhir that he could leave LSG and join KKR. Although till now nothing was being said definitively, but today it has been made clear by KKR itself that Gautam Gambhir is joining them again. Such possibilities were being expressed only after Lucknow Supergiants had recently appointed Justin Langer as their head coach. Now when the mini auction takes place, Gautam Gambhir will be seen trying to build his strong team. Well, if seen, Gautam Gambhir’s tenure with LSG was fine. The team participated in the IPL for the first time in the year 2022 and after this, the team managed to remain in the top 4 twice in a row till 2023. Yes, it is a different matter that the team could neither go to the finals nor capture the title.
Gautam Gambhir has won the IPL title for KKR twice under his captaincy.
Kolkata Knight Riders had won the IPL title twice under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir, in 2012 and then in 2014. In a way, Gambhir has returned home. But now it will be interesting to see how far he, as a mentor, is successful in taking KKR in the next season’s IPL. Also, LSG has already announced its coach, but who will play the role of mentor in place of Gautam Gambhir. Some more changes may be seen in the teams before the auction to be held on December 19. Before this, the team will also have to submit the list of its retained and released players. So that the players who have been released can be brought back for auction. In the coming days, some more big news will be seen coming out regarding the teams.
