Gambhir, whose association with the franchise dates back to the fourth edition of the IPL in 2011, was instrumental in reviving a struggling side, taking them to the knockout stages in his first year as captain. Subsequently, the KKR went on to win two titles between 2012 and 2014.
In a post on X, the BJP parliamentarian wrote, "I have requested Party President Jagat Prakash Nadda to relieve me of my political duties so that I can focus on my upcoming cricket commitments."
He said that the real sacrifices are made by the people in uniform, who also want to be with their families during festivals but to ensure smooth festivities for the people of the country, they deliver their duty with dedication.
In an emotional video posted on his social media handle, Sreesanth alleged that Gambhir repeatedly kept on calling him a fixer.
On Friday, a member at Gautam Gambhir's home tested positive for Covid-19 after which he had gone into self isolation.
Calling out Kohli for his lack of responsibility, Gambhir had suggested that RCB should bring a change in captaincy in the next edition of IPL.
The closest Bangalore ever came to winning the trophy under Virat Kohli was in 2016 when they lost in the final to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Chasing 217 for the highest total chased in IPL history, Dhoni on Tuesday came to the middle in the 14th over when CSK needed 103 off 38 balls.
Gautam Gambhir believes that the coronavirus situation will not affect the players mindset much during the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League.
