The IPL trophy came home to Kolkata for the third time under Gambhir's leadership. The first two times came under Gambhir's captaincy and this time again under his mentorship. Gambhir was seen elated after winning the trophy today. But, team owner Shah Rukh Khan is very worried about Gambhir.
KKR's last IPL trophy came under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir in 2014. Once again he returned as the team's mentor this year and won Kolkata's third IPL trophy.
At the start of KKR's preparatory camp at Kolkata's Eden Gardens, Gambhir had set the target of winning the cup in front of his team's cricketers. He said, it is not in your hands to win or lose, but it is in your hands to try on the field. And that is what the cricketers of KKR team have shown throughout the tournament.
Team owner Shah Rukh Khan appeared to be a bit worried as he gave Gambhir a long hug after Kolkata won their third IPL trophy today. Because Gambhir has received an offer to become the coach of the Indian team at the moment. He is also willing to coach Rohit Sharma & Co. But King Khan's desperate plea in front of Gambhir, you will not go... Shah Rukh also placed a blank check in front of him. He wants Gambhir as a mentor for 10 years.
But will Gambhir agree? It is difficult for Gambhir to leave this circle because of the emotional atmosphere around him among the night cricketers. He came and changed the face of the team. Sunil was successful as an opener for whole season. Mitchell Starc has a supportive hand by his side when he fails equally. Shreyas Iyer proved to be a successful captain. Nitish Rana was injured but kept him with the team without releasing him.
Gambhir showed him that if he was given freedom, he could yield gold. He was successful as a captain himself, this time as a mentor he is also an IPL champion.
