KKR told to ‘lure’ Gautam Gambhir ‘back’ with stock options amid poor IPL 2026 form; ‘Lock him in for a long long term’

Gautam Gambhir was with Kolkata Knight Riders during the franchise's all three IPL-winning years. While Gambhir himself led KKR to IPL wins in 2012 and 2014 as captain, the former India cricketer was KKR's mentor when they won in 2024.
