Shameful To Target Rana For The Sake Of Your YouTube Channel: Gambhir
Kolkata Knight Riders: India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday slammed former player and ex-chief selector Kris Srikkanth for claiming that fast-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana was selected for the upcoming ODI series in Australia due to his personal rapport with Gambhir.
The remarks, made by Srikkanth on his YouTube channel earlier this month, suggested that Rana’s inclusion was less about merit and more about proximity, referring to his time with Gambhir, who was the mentor at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) before becoming India’s head coach in July 2024.
Gambhir, known for his forthrightness, responded sharply in the post-match press conference after India beat the West Indies by seven wickets to win the Test series 2-0 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, defending both the selection process and Rana’s credentials, and slammed people for targeting young cricketers for the sake of earning popularity through their YouTube channels.
