Gambhir's name was doing rounds for quite some time. The former left-handed cricketer was observed recording a farewell video for the Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium. This gesture marked the untimely conclusion of his second tenure with the team. During his time with the franchise, he played a pivotal role in leading them to victory in the IPL, breaking a decade-long championship drought.
Earlier in the day it was reported that IPL current champions Kolkata Knight Riders has made a proposition to Dravid for the post of the mentor. They are considering appointing him as a replacement for Gambhir as the next mentor for KKR in the upcoming season.
