Gautam Gambhir, now a mentor for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), celebrated a resounding victory over his former team, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), during an IPL encounter. After Andre Russell dismissed Nicholas Pooran, a crucial wicket that triggered LSG’s downfall, Gambhir devised a tactical maneuver against his former side. He sent a message to Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer through a reserve player, showcasing his astute strategy.
Gambhir’s tactical brilliance, combined with the impressive performances of Sunil Narine (81 off 39), Varun Chakaravarthy, and Harshit Rana (who shared six wickets), led Kolkata to a comprehensive win. Narine’s knock earned him the Player of the Match award for a record 15th time as a KKR player.
This commanding victory propelled KKR to the top of the IPL 2024 standings, marking an impressive start to their campaign. Gambhir’s strategic move against LSG not only contributed to the win but also garnered attention from netizens on social media, highlighting his tactical prowess in the world of cricket.
