Kolkata: With the kind of things he has done with the Kolkata Knight Riders, one can safely say that India may have missed a captain. Gambhir has been a two-time World Cup-winner. Currently, he is with the KKR side as the mentor and with an ICC trophy missing from the Indian cabinet, it is high time we get one. With the T20 World Cup 2024 round the corner, Gambhir could be a very good option as a mentor for the side.

Why Would Gambhir be a Good Mentor?

Most of the Indian cricketers are experienced and hence you may ask what is the need of Gambhir as the mentor of the side. One has to understand that cricket is as much physical as it is mental nowadays. Performance pressure to workload management issues, a modern-day cricketer goes through a lot and that is where Gambhir can bring all his experience into play in guiding the player and calming their nerves by giving them an idea of the actual picture that they can look forward to – which helps.

Gambhir Knows The Stage

Gambhir knows the pressure that exists at that level. Here as well, he can bring all his experience and guide the team.

Mentor of KKR

He is currently the mentor of the KKR side in the IPL, a side he has led to the title on two occasions. And just with his addition to the support staff this season, the complexion of the side has changed. The Knight Riders won their opening three matches at the IPL this year. This proves he is surely doing something behind the screen that is working well for the side.
