Gautam Gambhir left a significant void in KKR, which the management has yet to fill in the IPL.
Gautam Gambhir, who has 10,324 international runs for India and 4,217 IPL runs left KKR with two IPL trophies. KKR made history by bringing Kolkata its first IPL trophy under Gambhir’s leadership.
Gautam Gambhir, the former KKR captain, made the decision to leave Kolkata on his own. Even the KKR CEO and owner contacted Gautam Gambhir several times about this issue because they wanted him to continue as their captain, but Gautam was not interested and wasted no time leaving the team. He requested that the team management not retain him a few days before the retention process began and that they not even raise their right to match card. KKR has become one of the weakest IPL teams following Gautam Gambhir’s departure.
