But now, the former batter has come up with some astonishing revelations on the fallout between him and KKR during the session IPL 2018 and 2019. In his recent tweets, the ex-orange cap holder of KKR opened up about how he felt completely a different experience in the two years after former skipper Gautam Gambhir left the team after winning two titles with the team under his captaincy.
The Karnataka batter said that he was ‘alienated’ after Gambhir was released by the franchise in the later years of the Indian Premier League.
So much has been said since last night & I thank you for sharing. However I have always maintained that my 1st 4 yrs in KKR wen gauti led was completely diff from my last 2 years and that had a huge impact on my performances. I can assure you it had nothing to do with Captaincy!

After Gauti was let go, everything changed and i felt alienated. However my love for the fans of KKR was the same and will remain the same forever. I’m forever grateful for their support and I wanna clarify that!! This isn’t about the fans of KKR. I’ll forever love and respect em
