Sometimes, it appears Gautam Gambhir has fully embraced his surname’s meaning. ‘Gambhir’ in Hindi translates to ‘serious,’ reflecting his on-field demeanor. This has led social media users to playfully tease the former Indian batter with memes about his stoicism.
Gautam Gambhir’s epic reply to a Fangirl’s ‘smile request’
Meanwhile, a KKR fangirl posted a playful post on social media. In the photo, she is holding a placard during an IPL match, which reads: ‘I will not propose to my crush until Gambhir smiles.’ Given Gautam Gambhir’s serious demeanor, characterized by his rare smiles, the post playfully teases the former KKR captain.
The post caught Gautam Gambhir’s attention, and he responded in a humorous manner. Gambhir shared the fangirl’s post alongside his smiling picture, with the caption ‘Here you go.’ By fulfilling his fan’s wish, Gambhir playfully enabled her to proceed with proposing to her crush.
Gautam Gambhir will be all smiles with KKR’s performance in IPL 2024
Gambhir has every reason to smile this IPL season. Under his mentorship, Kolkata Knight Riders have secured a Qualifier berth. KKR currently tops the table and is poised to finish the league stage in the top 2. Gautam Gambhir’s return to his former franchise is undoubtedly one of the key factors behind their enhanced performance.
Last season, KKR finished in 7th position. However, this year, Gambhir made a big decision by promoting Sunil Narine to the opening spot. With 461 runs, Narine is KKR’s leading run-scorer this season, and his 15 wickets in 12 games are the icing on the cake. Fans will have no reason to complain about Gautam Gambhir not smiling if KKR clinches the IPL 2024 title.
