In the final of the Indian Premier League 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders’ performance was very good under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir. He took many important decisions this season due to which the Kolkata team won the final.

Recently, Gautam Gambhir revealed that he is still hungry for the IPL trophy and he wants to make Kolkata Knight Riders the most successful franchise. Let us tell you, Kolkata Knight Riders have won the IPL trophy three times. They have won the trophy of 2012, 2014 and 2024 seasons.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Gautam Gambhir said, ‘We are still two trophies behind Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Even though we won the trophy this season, Kolkata Knight Riders is still not the most successful franchise in IPL. To do that, we will have to win the tournament three more times and for that we will have to practice a lot.

Our next goal is that Kolkata Knight Riders become the most successful team in IPL. There would be nothing better than this for us. Our journey to reach that place has already begun.

We will face many challenges at every step: Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir further said, ‘When you come to IPL, your first thought is that our team should reach the playoffs. When you are near the playoffs, you want to make your place in the top 2. After this we want to make our place in the finals. You have to face many challenges at every step.

Today I am sitting at home and I am very happy. IPL is such a league in which we should not take any team lightly. When you win the tournament, you feel very good. Now I just want to go on a holiday with my family. I want to spend some time with my family.
