Gurbaz Says Gambhir and Shah Rukh Helped Him: Gurbaz was under a lot of pressure. He had to choose between his mother, who is hospitalized, and KKR, who desperately wanted his service following the departure of Phil Salt for international duties. The Afghanistan batter eventually flew to India.
Gurbaz Says Gambhir and Shah Rukh Helped Him to Take Off Pressure
But that wasn’t all the worry the right-handed batter had. He hadn’t played cricket for a while, and the first match he had to play is the most crucial one KKR have played so far in the season: qualifier 1. Gurbaz says he didn’t have to worry about anything, as KKR management has been very supportive. He specifically mentioned KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir, boss Shah Rukh Khan, and coach Chandrakant Pandit.
“If you have top management like KKR, you don’t need to worry about anything. GG sir is there, Shah Rukh sir is there, and the head coach is there. They are family, and it’s all because of them. I did not play for a long time, and it is a big pressure coming directly into the playoffs. They took all the pressure off me and told me to just go out and enjoy,” Gurbaz said.
Gurbaz gave KKR an incredible start in the match against SRH on Tuesday, scoring 23 runs on 14 balls. KKR went on to win the match by 8 wickets and qualified for the final.
