Why Did KKR's Gautam Gambhir Travel From Chennai To Delhi A Night Before IPL 2024 Final?

Just a night before the all-important IPL 2024 final against in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor Gautam Gambhir had to return to his hometown Delhi.
Well, the reason is simple. Gambhir, who is also the Member of Parliament from East Delhi, had to cast his vote. The 42-year-old did his bit and also asked people to do the same while posting a photo on social media.
Gambhir is in high demand lately, considering the fact that KKR have been performing admirably in IPL 2024 under his leadership. In fact, he has been considered as India’s next head coach, as Rahul Dravid is set to step down after the T20 World Cup 2024.
Gambhir helped KKR win the IPL title in 2012 and 2014. Since then, the Purple and Gold Brigade have not enjoyed a single title over the years. Prior to that, Gambhir was with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). He saw success there as well, taking them to the playoffs in consecutive seasons before he decided to quit them to rejoin KKR.
