Kolkata Knight Riders had a stellar season in IPL 2024. Among the many stars who had a stellar season with the three-time champions, India’s Harshit Rana stood out. 22-year-old Harshit Rana made headlines early in the tournament as he was suspended for one match for aggressive celebrations.

Harshit Rana did the ‘flying kiss’ celebration after dismissing Mayank Agarwal against SRH on March 23. Apart from this, he did another celebration in which he put a finger on his lips and made a silent sign. He also had to face a ban due to this celebration, but despite this Rana managed to make a comeback and played a great season. The star pacer took 19 wickets in the entire season and gave KKR their third wicket IPL Helped win the title.

Recently, the 22-year-old appeared on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast where he talked about Gautam Gambhir’s sacrifice.

Should Gautam Gambhir get credit for KKR’s victory or not?

Shubhankar Mishra asked a question to Harshit Rana, he asked- “When there is a mentor like Gautam Gambhir, the captain does not get that much credit. Like Ashish Nehra, Gautam Gambhir, these are such mentors in whose mentorship, there is more discussion about them than the captain. Like Rohit’s Mumbai, Virat’s RCB, Dhoni’s CSK, no one talks about the mentors of those teams, the teams are famous by the name of the players. But after Gambhir’s retirement and becoming a mentor again, headlines still come that Gambhir’s KKR, while the captain is someone else, so how right and how wrong is this?

On this, Harshit Rana gave a very good answer and said- “Look, we have just come to know these things from you, we have no information. But sir, I would definitely like to say that he (Gautam Gambhir) has left everything for KKR. He has left his politics and has come here. He has left everything just to make KKR win and has worked day and night. Then why not talk about him and give him all the credit.”
