Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Gautam Gambhir has been one of the successful captains in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Delhi-born batter won two IPL trophies for the Shahrukhan co-owned franchise. He has now been mentoring Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Gambhir recently met Shah Rukh Khan, who is now in the party mood of his recently released super hit movie 'Jawan' and had a special post. According to reports, Jawan earned Rs 10 crore at the Indian box office on Day 14. The film's collection, in its second week, has taken the current total to Rs 518.28 crore.
Recently, he was commentating in the Asia Cup, that the Indian cricket team defeated Sri Lanka comprehensively to clinch the Asia Cup 2023 title. Gambhir and SRK have a close bond which is seen in the photo the former cricketer posted on the social media website.
He's not just the king of Bollywood but the king of hearts: Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir wrote on his Twitter account, "He's not just the king of Bollywood but the king of hearts. Every time we meet I go back with endless love and respect. So much to learn from u. Simply the best SRK @iamsrk." The southpaw previously said, "We know he (Jadeja) can bowl 10 overs on any given day on any surface. He is an amazing fielder but he will have to contribute better as a batter at No. 7 because you cannot go in with just six batters." He is smiling in this pic with Shah Rukh, which reflects how happy he is after meeting 'King Khan'.
"If Ishan Kishan plays at No. 5, there are question marks there as well. So Ravindra Jadeja will have to win matches with batting because you might have a situation where you need 80 or 90 runs in 10 overs and the No. 6 and No. 7 batters might be playing together."
He also believes that there is one place in the Indian cricket team's combination that needs some attention ahead of the Cricket World Cup. With the World Cup coming in less than two weeks fans will hope to win the World Cup at home for the second time after 2011.
