During a recent IPL match, former Indian cricketer and KKR mentor, Gautam Gambhir, caught the attention of both fans and social media with a remarkable act of charm and kindness. After spotting a fangirl's poster expressing her admiration, Gambhir fulfilled her wish for him to smile, capturing hearts and becoming the talk of the town. Despite his successful cricket career and connections in the film industry, Gambhir continues to prioritize his own path.
Harshal Patel of Punjab Kings has been wreaking havoc in the ongoing season of the IPL with his signature slower dipping yorkers, earning him the nickname 'Purple' Patel. Patel has taken 22 wickets so far, including prized ones of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, making him the current top wicket-taker in the league. In a chat with the IPL, Patel revealed his favorite wicket of the season was Shahrukh Khan, followed by Dhoni, and that he initially wanted to bowl around the wicket to the latter before finally trying out the dipping delivery. With this stellar redemption story, Patel has truly gone from Royal (former team RCB) to King (current team Punjab Kings).
