As past champs Gambhir, Yusuf back in West Bengal, albeit for different goals, Knight Riders get ready to take on Sunrisers in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday
THE last time Kolkata Knight Riders won second of their two IPL trophies in 2014, Gautam Gambhir was their captain and Yusuf Pathan their key batter. A lot has changed since then in the past decade. Both Gambhir and Yusuf had retired from all forms of cricket years ago and forayed into politics.
Here also Gambhir took the precedence as he remained member of parliament from 2019 to 2024 before announcing that he will not contest during this general elections while Yusuf trying his luck as the TMC candidate in 2024 from Baharampur, a Lok Sabha constituency in West Bengal.
After the twin trophies, both parted ways with the Kolkata franchise, plying their trade with other teams. Gambhir even mentored Lucknow Super Giants before returning to Kolkata in 2024 as their mentor.
Coincidentally, Yusuf is also back in West Bengal not with the team but as an MP aspirant given his previous connection with the state as KKR player.
