Gambhir genuinely the finest captain that I have seen, says Shah Rukh Khan – Cricket News Update
The IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders’ co-owner and the Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, on Sunday lavished praise on the incumbent KKR skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, calling him the finest captain he has ever seen.
Speaking to the media reporters after Gambhir’s men outclassed Sourav Ganguly led Pune Warriors in an IPL clash at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Saturday night, King Khan said that the 30-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Anthony-Hibbert-c81005 leads the side from the
front, something SRK rarely found in captains from across the globe.
"In my eyes, he is genuinely the finest captain that I have seen,” said the Kolkata Knight Riders’ co-owner after his side won the enthralling IPL fixture against Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 by seven runs.
“Yes, I have seen most of them from outside. I am a cricket follower. But leading from the front and the way he talks to the boys, I think he is the most awesome captain,” he added further.
The left-handed top-order batsman was appointed as the KKR skipper after the franchise decided to part with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 ahead of the fourth season.

subsequently to the Champions League T20 tournament.
He has been in epic form right from the start of the ongoing season and has delivered many match-winning performances with the bat at the top of the order, besides smoothly running team matters as captain. With a tally of 421 runs from 10 innings, Gambhir
finds himself fourth on the IPL-V runs chart, behind http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 (445 from 10 innings). Gambhir’s tally also includes five blistering half centuries.
Describing Gambhir as a “really genuine batsman” King http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 said that he was very impressed by him. SRK also hailed Gauti for lifting the side magnificently after three seasons of nonstop controversies.
"For a team which has been so full of controversy for no choice of ours for the last four years... For him to come and be so full of grit and determination... To prove himself to be a Kolkata boy... is a great thing."
