Ex-IPL Chairman Lalit Modi said that KKR should do whatever it takes to lure their former mentor Gautam Gambhir back. "Incentivise him...Like Shane Warne had equity options, lock him in for a long long term...give him stock options," he said, adding, "Gautam should be KKR's main strategist globally." KKR are yet to win a match in IPL 2026.
