Ever since the Kolkata Knight Riders won their third Indian Premier League title after beating the SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024, KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir has been making headlines. According to reports, Gambhir could replace Rahul Dravid as Team India's coach. Recently, KKR pacer Harshit Rana talked about the 2011 World Cup winner's sacrifices to help Kolkata win the IPL 2024.
KKR star pacer Harshit Rana, who picked up 19 wickets in 13 matches in the IPL 2024, had a huge impact on the Knight Riders' winning run and became the joint-second leading wicket-taker for his side in the 17th edition of the IPL.
Recently, Rana appeared in 'Unplugged' a Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, and talked about KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir's sacrifices in KKR's championship run. While asked about Gambhir's impact, Rana said, "Gauti bhaiya (Gautam Gambhir) left his things to return to KKR. He left politics for KKR. He worked really hard to help KKR win the championship."

They have a bad luck: Harshit Rana on RCB's failure to win IPL trophy
Apart from Gambhir, Harshit Rana was quizzed about the Royal Challengers Bengaluru's failure to win the IPL trophy. Bengaluru, Delhi, and Punjab are the only three teams, who have been playing since the beginning of the IPL in 2008, yet to win a trophy. RCB have reached the IPL finals on three occasions, however, failed to win a single championship.
While asked about the reason for RCB's failure to win the IPL trophy, Rana said, "They have bad luck. They definitely play good cricket but I think the luck is not with them."
