These are the real KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS under Gautam Gambhir. This is how we used to play, with this attitude we scored 105-0 in 6 overs, with this attitude we beat RCB for 49. This is KKR’s heritage! pic.twitter.com/RJ18bn0Ylh

Sunil Narine’s unreal batting. Gambhir is back, and so is Narine.
-Bhawana (@bhawanakohli5) April 3, 2024
Gambhir is an underrated mentor. Joined LSG: Hooda played like Klusner, Badoni ended up like Prime-Dhoni, Prerak made an impact. Now Narine, Russell, Ramandeep and Angkrish are eating the bowlers alive. #KKRvDC
-Abhinandan Nahata (@khelgyani_abhi) April 3, 2024
Gambhir worked his magic on Sunil Narine’s T20 batting in just one game, but he couldn’t get into KL Rahul’s head even after two years. It makes you wonder about Rahul’s approach.
