Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor Gautam Gambhir on Thursday landed in Kolkata ahead of IPL 2024. Gambhir was welcomed at the Kolkata airport by hundreds of supporters who rejoiced at the second homecoming of KKR’s most successful captain.
Gambhir has been the only KKR captain to lead the franchise to an IPL trophy. He won the IPL twice for the franchise, in 2012 and 2014. Till date, those are the only two IPL trophies the franchise has won. Since Gambhir was at the helm of the franchise in the time period, it is no surprise that the KKR fans love the former Indian opener dearly.
The affection was in full display when Gambhir landed at the Kolkata airport ahead of IPL 2024. Hundreds of Kolkata Knight Riders supporters thronged the arrival gate of the airport to catch a glimpse of Gambhir. Chants of “We love GG” reverberated in the air as Gambhir made his way outside the airport.
