It was typical of Gautam Gambhir that he strenuously deflected attention from the individual to the team, downplaying his own role as a captain and also of other heroes of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Sunil Narine, Manvinder Bisla and Jacques Kallis, after their stunning five-wicket win over champions Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League final here on Sunday.
Gambhir said the story of Knight Riders was about team effort with individual players making their contributions. He dedicated the KKR’s maiden IPL title to the team’s fans in recognition of their support even when the Knight Riders struggled to make an impact over the years.
