When the announcement of Gautam Gambhir’s arrival to KKR was made, all the fans sat up and took notice. Gauti, as he is fondly known, has built a reputation as one of the most aggressive and determined top-order batsmen in the modern game with the ability to produce crucial knocks required by his team in moments of despair. Gauti sealed his place in the hearts of cricket lovers everywhere with his World Cup final knock of 97 that helped India to bring home the trophy after 28 years. Yet, he remains the same Gauti we had always known – always determined to make that next important contribution.
A passionate cricketer and a thoughtful individual, Gambhir was the natural choice to become the leader of a group of legendary cricketers interspersed with young players looking for the guidance of a player who has seen it all. Gauti leads from the front, lets his bat do the talking and constantly strives for perfection. The focus and determination brought to KKR by the captain helped the team to its best ever performance in the IPL and though he remains proud of his boys for last season, rest assured that Gauti has his eyes firmly set on the target – bringing the IPL title to the Eden Gardens.
The fiery Delhi lad has now become a Kolkatan and clearly revels in the added responsibility that the leadership of such a well loved team brings. “My heart and soul are with KKR. In a matter of weeks, Kolkata has converted me into a Bengali boy. If the schedule permits it, I would love to come here for the Pujas and celebrate with the rest of the city. It has been a season of poriborton (change) for me as well.”
Kolkata awaits the return of Gauti and his Knights for IPL-5!
