Guatam Gambhir: The final of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) was played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad (KKR vs SRH), which Kolkata won in a one-sided manner by 8 wickets. KKR's mentor Gautam Gambhir played a big role in this success.

For this, the first round of discussions has also been held with Gambhir. In such a situation, the news can be officially confirmed soon. After becoming the Team India head coach, Gautam Gambhir will have to leave the post of mentor in the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise.
