Under Gambhir’s captaincy, Kolkata won the IPL 2012 and 2014 titles.
Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir was recently seen doing a question and answer session (#AskGG) with cricket fans on the social media platform X. So during this time, cricket fans got a chance to talk directly to the two-time World Cup champion player. During this, many fans asked various questions to Gambhir, to which Gambhir answered.
Apart from this, let us tell you that under his captaincy, Gautam Gambhir has made Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) champion twice. In the final of IPL 2012, KKR won the title by defeating Chennai Super Kings at their home ground.
So in the year 2014, under the captaincy of Gambhir, KKR defeated Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) by 3 wickets in the final match. So now Gambhir has joined the two-time champion Kolkata team as a mentor for the 17th season of IPL.
On the other hand, in this question and answer session, when a fan asked Gautam Gambhir a question about Kolkata Knight Riders team and Shahrukh Khan’s return to the team, Gautam said something very serious. Responding to this fan, Gambhir wrote – Is it not clear? He is a family and KKR is an emotion for me. Very excited.
