'That's why we're...': KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir meets 'special fan', kisses his hand

NEW DELHI: Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders are currently leading the points table with three wins in as many matches. With an aim to extend their winning streak, KKR eagerly anticipates an enticing showdown against the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings, scheduled to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday.

Prior to their anticipated clash with CSK, Gautam Gambhir, the mentor of KKR, took to his social media platform to share a heartwarming moment with a special fan.

"Love of our fans. That’s why we’re here," Gambhir captioned the post.

Earlier, the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who guided CSK to five IPL titles, was also captured engaging with a special fan before their recently-concluded encounter with the Delhi Capitals, which ultimately saw Delhi Capitals win by a margin of 20 runs.

CSK's social media platforms showcased a video capturing the arrival of the Yellow-clad squad, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, in Vizag.

Among the heartwarming scenes, Dhoni, affectionately known as Thala among his admirers, was spotted alighting from the team bus and exchanging smiles with the special fan.
