Veteran India player and the present KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir made headlines with his old team. After guiding Lucknow Super Giants to two successive IPL playoffs, he became Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor ahead of this season. And, under his guidance, KKR played with utmost confidence and class throughout the season to clinch the title convincingly.
Moreover, Gautam Gambhir’s name is being discussed as Team India’s head coach role as well. Though nothing is official, several reports have predicted him to take over the top post after Rahul Dravid’s term ends with the 2024 T20 World Cup as well.
Shah Rukh Khan, KKR co-owner, shared a long post about how Gautam Gambhir’s thinking changed KKR.

“To my boys…. my team…. my champs….”these blessed candles of the night” …. My Stars…of KKR. I cannot do a lot of things and you cannot do them all either…but together we manage most of them. That’s what @KKRiders stood for. Simply being together. Beyond the ability and guidance of @GautamGambhir….the earnestness of Chandu, the love of @abhisheknayar1 & leadership of @ShreyasIyer15… the dedication of @rtendo27, Bharat Arun @1crowey & @Numb3z… this team is built on no hierarchy just pure respect for collaboration,” Shah Rukh posted in a long post on X.

“GG said if u can’t support a single vision as a team….u are leading to a division in the team. Each player understood that. Young and old. The Trophy is not a testament of having the best players in the team….but a proof of each player being the best for the team. Boys you are all made of Star stuff!! Love you all and don’t let the dancing stop! Also, so happy and thankful for each and every KKR fan and I hope all around the world youngsters learn that Tough times don’t last….Finally Tough and Happy teams do! Korbo…Lorbo…Jeetbo….Always. See u all at the stadia in 2025,” he shared again.
