Kolkata Knight Riders’ mentor, Gautam Gambhir, didn’t like the way his team played against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2024. The two-time champions were completely outplayed by the hosts in all departments of the game. It was KKR’s first defeat in the season, and the batters looked clueless on the slow and turning track in Chennai.
Gambhir, who doesn’t show his religious side more often, paid a visit to Kolkata’s renowned Kalighat temple ahead of their upcoming match against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Garden Stadium on Sunday, April 14.
The two-time champions shared a video showing Gambhir’s visit to seek blessings. The veteran participated in the rituals and received blessings from the temple priest, including ‘Mata ki Chunri’ and a garland.
Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Venkatesh Iyer, and Varun Chakravarthy also visited the famous temple on Thursday, April 11.
The players are engaged in spiritual rejuvenation during the ongoing 17th season.
