Gautam Gambhir: In IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders surprised everyone by winning the title. A lot of credit for this goes to Gautam Gambhir. In fact, before the start of this season, this team had appointed Gauti as the mentor of their team. The former Indian player did not disappoint Shahrukh Khan.

Under his guidance, he made Kolkata champion for the third time. However, he could stay with this team for only one year. Actually, Gambhir is now going to be seen in a new role. He is soon going to become the head coach of Team India. In such a situation, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will have to look for a new mentor. In this phase, the name of a legend is at the forefront.

Gautam Gambhir will be discharged from KKR

Gautam Gambhir is in the news a lot these days. Actually, it is being claimed on social media that the former Indian player will become the next head coach of Team India. These reports started flying during IPL 2024 itself. After the long conversation between Gambhir and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah after the final match, the market of speculation became even hotter.

However, no official statement was issued by either the Board of Control for Cricket in India or Gautam Gambhir. Let us tell you that if Gambhir accepts this role, he will have to leave KKR. This is mandatory to avoid conflict of interest. Also, coaching the Indian team is a full-time job, for which the coach has to be with the team in every series and every tournament.

This veteran will become Kolkata's next mentor

Kolkata Knight Riders will have to look for a new mentor for the team before IPL 2025. According to sources, KKR may consider the name of former explosive batsman of Team India and famous as Sixer King, Yuvraj Singh.
