Gambhir Mistakenly Reveals IPL 2024 Final Date: Even though the BCCI is yet to announce the full schedule of the IPL 2024 season, KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir has, apparently, unintentionally revealed the date of the IPL final.
So far, the BCCI has announced the schedule from March 22 to April 7, because the board is waiting for the dates of the general election in India, to be announced by the government.

However, in a profound speech at the KKR training camp, Gautam Gambhir inadvertently said that he wishes his team to play in the IPL 2024 final on May 26.
KKR released the video of Gambhir’s speech at the Eden Gardens, where the players and staff have assembled to prepare for the tournament. KKR’s first match this season is against SRH on March 23 in Kolkata.
In the speech, Gautam Gambhir said,
“There’s no senior junior. There is no domestic, international. So we have got one mission and that is to win this IPL. So everyone needs to follow that one simple path. On 26th May, we should be there giving everything possible, and it starts from today. It’s not gonna start on the 26th. It’s not gonna start on the 23rd (day of KKR’s first match). We start this season from today. Whether it’s physically, mentally skill-wise, give everything possible.”

Gautam Gambhir led KKR to the franchise’s only two IPL titles, in 2012 and 2014. After retirement, he picked up commentary stints.
Gambhir was the mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022 and IPL 2023. However, he returned to KKR ahead of the IPL 2024 auction as the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise aimed to bring back the glory days under Gambhir.
Speaking to the players about KKR, the 42-year-old said,
“It’s a very, very proud and successful franchise. You guys are representing a very successful franchise. Make sure you train that way, you play that way and you carry that attitude around the field. That is going to be very, very important. And one thing I absolutely believe in is giving all the freedom to the players. That is something which is very, very important.”
