One of the best batters to play for the country, Gautam Gambhir, is all set to mentor KKR in the upcoming IPL season. KKR has won two IPL titles, and both of them have come under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir is known for putting his team ahead of his own personal milestones, and that is evident in his cricketing career. However, he has named Ryan Ten Doeschate as the greatest team man ever.
Gautam Gambhir said, "When I talk about selflessness, I have never said this in 42 years of my career, and I wanted to say this. The greatest team man I have ever played with, the most selfless human being, someone I can take a bullet for, someone who I can trust for life, and I can tell you this because in 2011 was my first game as a KKR captain.
Gambhir further added, "We only had four overseas players available, and this man had a fabulous 50-over World Cup, and we went in that game with only three overseas players, and he was carrying drinks in that game with no disappointment on his face. He taught me selflessness. Ryan ten Doeschate. These are the people who made me the leader.”
Gambhir went on to say that, "I did not make the Kolkata Knight Riders successful; it was KKR that made me a successful leader."
