Heart-warming Reaction of Shah Rukh Khan's On the Return of Gautam Gambhir's KKR Return
The owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan, had a heart-warming answer when asked about his reaction to Gautam Gambhir returning to the Indian Premier League side as a ‘mentor'. Gambhir led the franchise to their two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014. During a Q&A session on X, a user asked SRK about Gambhir's return, and his answer won a lot of hearts. SRK posted on his official handle, "Kyunki @GautamGambhir humaara apna hai. KKR ka Captaan hai, or family hai. because Gautam Gambhir is one of our own. He was KKR's captain, and our family"
Gambhir, the hero of India's T20 and 50-over World Cup wins, had led Shah Rukh Khan-owned KKR from 2011 to 2017 before parting ways. For the past two seasons, he was at the helm of the Lucknow Super Giants as their ‘mentor.
Lucknow qualified for play-offs in both seasons but were unable to go the distance, which prompted the franchise to bring in former Australia opener and T20 World Cup-winning coach Justin Langer as their head coach.
