‘Sher apni gufa me laut chuka hai’ – Fans react as Gautam Gambhir parts ways with LSG, return to KKR as mentor
Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian opening batter, has returned to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) franchise, but this time not as a player but as a mentor. The two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions have welcomed back their prodigious cricketer in a new role, hoping to leverage his wealth of experience and cricketing acumen.
Gambhir’s reunion with KKR comes after his abrupt departure from the mentorship role at the Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday, November 22. The sudden move has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about the reasons behind his departure from the Lucknow franchise. Gambhir took to the popular microblogging site X (formerly known as Twitter) to make the announcement.

“As I announce the end of my impeccable journey with Lucknow Super Giants, I am filled with love and immense gratitude towards all the players, coaches, support staff and every individual who has made this journey memorable. I would like to thank Dr Sanjiv Goenka for his inspiring leadership while creating this remarkable franchise and for his tremendous support of all my endeavours. I’m sure that the team will do wonders in the future and will make every LSG fan proud. All the very best LSG brigade!” Gambhir said in the statement.
Gambhir led KKR to 2 IPL trophies as captain in 2012 and 2014
Known for his leadership skills and astute cricketing insights, Gambhir played a pivotal role in KKR’s triumphs in 2012 and 2014. As the mentor, he now aims to guide the team to further glory, bringing a fresh perspective and invaluable insights to the dressing room. Fans eagerly await to see the impact of Gambhir’s return to the KKR’s camp in the upcoming IPL season.
Gambhir’s tenure with LSG as a mentor was decent as he helped the team to qualify for the playoffs in 2 consecutive seasons. On the other hand, KKR have been underperforming in the past few years but the addition of Gambhir will surely lift the players’ morale in their camp.
Here’s how fans reacted:
