Who will be the next mentor of KKR after Gautam Gambhir?? This player is leading in the race
Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as India’s new head coach means that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be without a mentor for the next season. Gambhir’s tenure has led them to three Indian Premier League titles, two as captain and one as mentor. Meanwhile, some media reports have revealed that the KKR management is already looking for Gambhir’s replacement. According to a report in The Telegraph, South African great and former franchise coach Jacques Kallis is the frontrunner to replace Gambhir as KKR mentor. Although Chandrakant Pandit is set to continue as the head coach of the team, the appointment of Kallis might force him to play a role similar to Gambhir. Jacques Kallis can become KKR’s mentor for IPL 2025 The report added, “The franchise is also looking for a replacement for Gambhir, who was crucial to their third IPL title this year. The name of South African great all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who coached KKR in 2019, is also doing the rounds.” Interestingly, Kallis was part of the 2012 and 2014 IPL title-winning Kolkata team when Gambhir was the captain of the team. After his retirement in 2014, Kallis joined KKR as batting consultant in 2015, followed by his appointment as the team’s coach after Trevor Bayliss’ departure. He stayed with KKR till 2019 and then joined the South African team as batting consultant. Apart from a mentor, KKR may also need a batting coach. According to reports, KKR batting consultant Abhishek Nair is also in the race to join Gambhir’s support staff as an assistant coach in Team India. Meanwhile, Gambhir will start his tenure as India’s head coach with the Sri Lanka tour. The former India opener replaced Rahul Dravid in this position.

“Beth Mooney is not leading from the front”, former player’s big statement on GG’s disappointing performance in WPL 2024
Gujarat Giants WPL in 2024 gujarat giants The winning account has not been opened yet. Under the leadership of Beth Mooney, it has played three matches and has faced defeat in all three. Meanwhile, Sushma Verma has attributed the poor performance of Gujarat Giants to the poor batting and captaincy of Beth Mooney. Let us tell you that Giants are at the last position in the points table and in the current season they are the only team not to register a win so far. Gujarat will face Delhi Capitals in the 10th match of the tournament on Sunday, March 3. During a conversation on Sports 18 before the match Sushma Verma Was asked what Gujarat Giants need to do to get their first win. Beth Mooney is not leading from the front – Sushma Verma On this he said, I think he has not done anything till now. They have a strong batting unit. Beth Mooney is the captain, but she isn’t leading the team from the front. She is not batting like that nor has that kind of approach been seen. Looking at her body language on the field, I am saying that she is making a bit of a mess as a captain. She further said, sometimes she is not happy even with field placements. As a captain, how much do you understand the Indian players, the Indian conditions and your limitations? This is all you need to know. The former Gujarat Giants player said that Mooney himself needs to perform first. Ashley Gardner has not lived up to her big name so far. I also expect good performance from Sneh Rana Hemlata because he is a big name in Indian cricket.
