Gautam Gambhir To Mentor Team He Captained Earlier!

The Indian Premier League, the most popular league in the world, will be held in a few months during the summer season. Ahead of the season, a veteran player took a big decision to leave the franchise he was mentoring to join the team he led in the past.

Ace cricketer Gautam Gambhir who is serving as the mentor of the Lucknow SuperGiants team in the IPL announced that he will travel with the Kolkata Knight Riders team as the mentor. While announcing the decision the former player shared an emotional note.

In the note, Gautam Gambhir said that he is announcing the end of his journey with Lucknow SuperGiants and thanked the players, coach, and management for his stint. He expressed confidence that the team would see big wins and make the fans proud.

"As I announce the end of my impeccable journey with Lucknow Super Giants, I am filled with love and immense gratitude towards all the players, coaches, support staff and every individual who has made this journey memorable," he said in a statement.

Gautam Gambhir coming back to Kolkata Knight Rider is so special as he led the team twice to the IPL trophy. Under his leadership, the team won the trophies in 2012 and 2014. He took the team to the playoffs thrice.

The team that he led for a few years and won the trophy twice is going to see him as a mentor. His experience and the rapport he has with the staff of the team would come in handy.
