Wishing Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan a happy birthday, Gautam Gambhir wrote in a post on his social media handle X — Here's to the man who is turning 25! May your energy, charisma and charm grow younger every year! May you always spread love.
The current head coach of the Indian national cricket team also posted a picture of him and Shahrukh along with the message. Where 'King Khan' is hugging him. This time Shahrukh Khan gave a counter message to the coach of the Indian cricket team. And wrote – 'I am 25?! I feel like I'm younger… ha ha ha… thanks GG for being an inspiration. My Captain Forever and More…Love You'.
Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan celebrated his 59th birthday a few days ago. Congratulatory messages flooded in on social media. From common people to Bollywood stars or sportspersons - no one is left out of that list. He has been associated with cricket through IPL for a long time.
Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner 'King Khan'. Gautam Gambhir was once associated with this team as a cricketer, later he was also a mentor. In 2024, KKR became the IPL champion under his supervision.
Gautam Gambhir also did not forget to wish Shahrukh on his birthday. Shah Rukh Khan replied a bit late as he was busy. But his message won everyone's hearts.
It should be noted that since its establishment in 2008, actor Shahrukh Khan is one of the owners of IPL's Kolkata franchise. On the other hand, under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL in 2012 and 2014. Gautam Gambhir became KKR's mentor after that. But sometimes GG became the mentor of Lucknow Super Giant. He was brought back again in 2024. KKR also became the IPL champion this year.
After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the head coach of the Indian cricket team in place of Rahul Dravid. But the beginning was not very good for him. After the defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Team India had to lose the Test series against New Zealand by 3-0 at home. Because of which Gautam Gambhir has to face criticism.
From former cricketers to ordinary fans - everyone is questioning his role. In such a situation, the Indian cricket team will play the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia this month.
