This decision precedes Gambhir's return to KKR, where he previously led the team from 2011 to 2017, securing IPL titles in 2012 and 2014. The official announcement of his mentoring role alongside head coach Chandrakant Pandit was made on November 21, 2023.
Having previously served as the mentor for Lucknow Super Giants in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Gambhir played a pivotal role in guiding the team to playoffs both times. KKR is set to kick off their IPL campaign on March 23 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Kolkata, with Gambhir gearing up for his new role as mentor for the two-time champions.
