“Gautam, you’ve played a huge role in shaping LSG, and we value you and the contribution you’ve made in the last two years immensely. You will always remain family for me, and I wish you the best in your new avatar at KKR. Thanks, and good wishes always,” Goenka posted.

I am not an emotional person: Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir also let his thoughts known about leaving as the mentor of LSG and highlighted how happy he is to be back in Kolkata.

“I am not an emotional person, and not many things move me. But this is different. This is back to where it all started. Today, there is a lump in my throat and fire in my heart as I think about slipping into that purple and gold jersey once again. I am not only coming back to KKR, but I am coming back to the city of joy. I am back. I am hungry. I am number 23. Ami KKR,” Gambhir said in a statement released by KKR.
