NEW DELHI: Young pacer Harshit Rana attributed Kolkata Knight Riders' surge to the top of the IPL points table to the winning blueprint laid down by former captain Gautam Gambhir, now serving as the team's mentor. Gambhir's strategic insights, derived from his successful tenure as KKR skipper, have revitalized the franchise's performance, leading them to reclaim their dominant form in the tournament.
Under Gambhir's leadership, KKR clinched the IPL title twice and secured playoff berths on five occasions between 2011 and 2017. Rana acknowledged Gambhir's profound understanding of the game, stating, "He has a lot of knowledge on how to turn games in our favor, and it helps us a lot in the middle."
