There is a great bonding between Shahrukh Khan and Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir has mentioned this in many interviews. Shahrukh also never gets tired of praising him. His team Kolkata Knight Riders has won 3 IPL trophies under Gambhir. Gambhir made KKR the winner of IPL first as captain and then as mentor. Gambhir has now said goodbye to him and his team for the sake of Team India. This has given a big shock to Shahrukh's team. Not only this, as soon as Gambhir left, another bad news has come for the team from America.
Shahrukh's team lost in America
Like IPL, Major League Cricket (MLC) is organized in America. In this league, Shahrukh Khan's franchise plays under the name of Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR). Its second season has started from July 5. On July 9, BCCI announced Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of Team India and on the other hand LAKR lost badly in MLC 2024. Not only this, the two most important players of the team, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell also failed in this match. In IPL 2024, both of them played an important role in the victory of Kolkata Knight Riders.
Naren-Russel failed
Los Angeles Knight Riders batted first and scored 168 runs. Jason Roy and David Miller batted brilliantly in this. Jason Roy scored 69 runs in 52 balls and Miller scored 44 runs in 22 balls. On the other hand, Sunil Narine, who came to open for KKR, could score only 5 runs in 6 balls. Apart from this, Andre Russell was out after scoring only 14 runs in 10 balls. Seattle Orcas' team chased the target of 169 with 5 balls to spare at the loss of only one wicket. During this, Ryan Rickelton played a brilliant innings of 103 runs in 66 balls. Not only this, Shahrukh's team has been able to win only 1 out of 3 matches in MLC. Let us tell you that a total of 6 teams participate in MLC. Out of these, the top-4 teams qualify for the playoffs. Then there is a qualifier and eliminator match like IPL. Currently LAKR is at the fourth position in the points table.
