Gautam Gambhir shared an emotional farewell video for Kolkata, a city that he claimed to be a part of after guiding them to their 3rd Indian Premier League trophy in the recently concluded IPL.
“I smile when you smile, I cry when you cry, I win when you win, I lose when you lose. I believe with you, and I have become you. I am you Kolkata. I am just one of you,” Gambhir said in the video.
Come Kolkata, let’s create some new legacies @KKRiders @iamsrk @indiancricketteam

Gambhir who had guided the Kolkata Knight Riders to IPL triumphs as captain in 2012 and 2014, helped them to their 3rd title as mentor in 2024. Last week, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah announced Gambhir as the new head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team.
Former T20 and ODI World Cup winner with India took over as head coach from Rahul Dravid, who stepped down from the role after India’s T20 World Cup win.
