After the win, Gambhir shared his bond with Sunil Narine.
Can I Bring My Girlfriend…
In the cricket arena, Gautam Gambhir is known for his shy and introverted personality. People never seen him expressing too much. Sunil Narine is also same. The duo, integral to KKR’s historic moments, reunited in a new role to secure KKR’s third Indian Premier League title. Beyond their on-field prowess, Gambhir acknowledged their reserved personalities. He noted Narine’s initial shyness upon joining KKR in 2012, emphasizing their shared preference for privacy and avoidance of the limelight.
While talking about this, Gambhir said, “Me and Narine are similar characters, and so are our emotions. I still remember that when Narine first came into the IPL in 2012, it was in Jaipur, and we were going for practice, and I told him to come join for lunch. He was so shy that he did not say a single word during lunch, and the first question that he eventually asked was, ‘Can I bring my girlfriend to the IPL?”
Bond with the Caribbean Star:
The duo shared a great bond as they played together for a long. Initially hailed as skipper Gambhir’s go-to bowler, Narine’s role expanded over time. He transitioned into Gambhir’s opening partner, showcasing versatility and contributing significantly to KKR’s success in subsequent seasons.
While talking about the bond, the KKR mentor said, “He was so quiet that first season, but now, we can talk about anything. He is like a brother to me. I don’t see him as a friend, I don’t see him as a teammate, I see him as a brother. If I need him or he needs me, I think we are just one call away, that is the sort of relationship that we have built. We do not get excited much, we do not show too many emotions, we are not flamboyant, we just do the job and come back,”
