This great player will replace Gautam Gambhir, got a big offer | News India

Last year, under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir, Shahrukh Khan's team won the IPL trophy for the third time. After winning the trophy, Gautam Gambhir left KKR and became the head coach of Team India. Since then the franchise has been looking for a legendary player like him, which now seems to be fulfilled. According to the Telegraph report, Kumar Sangakkara can replace Gambhir in KKR. For this, Shahrukh's team has started talking to him and it can be announced in the next few days.

Will break ties with Rajasthan Royals!

Kumar Sangakkara has been associated with Rajasthan Royals since 2021. He was in the role of Cricket Director in the Rajasthan franchise and also took over the responsibility of head coach. Rajasthan has recently appointed Rahul Dravid as its new head coach. Along with this, there is also talk of making Vikram Rathod the assistant coach. Let us tell you that Rajasthan had entrusted Sangakkara with the responsibility of managing the franchise teams in the second league. The Telegraph has reported quoting sources that Sangakkara has now decided to end his relationship with the franchise.

Got offers from many teams

Former Indian cricketer Chandrakant Pandit is the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. Former Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun has the responsibility of the team's bowling coach. While after the departure of Gautam Gambhir, Ryan Ten Deschat and Abhishek Nair, the posts of mentor, fielding coach and batting coach are vacant. Currently, Shahrukh's team is looking for their mentor and for this they have spoken to Sangakkara. On the other hand, Sangakkara has also received offers from some other IPL teams. In a few days, he will decide which team he wants to join.

Good record for Rajasthan

Kumar Sangakkara is the second-highest run-scorer in international cricket. Until a few days ago, he was also in the race to become the white ball head coach of the England cricket team. However, England has chosen Brendon McCullum for this. With this, the musician is now out of the race. As far as Sangakkara's record in the IPL is concerned, he performed well after joining Rajasthan in 2021. Under his supervision, the team managed to reach the final in 2022. It qualified for the playoffs in the 2024 season and finished third.
