Jatin Sapru and Gautam Gambhir
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had recently entered the record books after buying Mitchell Starc for 24.75 cr, making him the most expensive player in IPL history. There were also a lot of mixed responses from fans and experts on KKR putting more than half their purse on the Australian pacer. Gautam Gambhir who is the mentor of KKR for the upcoming season was talking about the plans of the franchise in the season. Gambhir, who is always clear in his plans, talked about which players they targeted and what kind of players they needed to perform this season.
KKR have not had the best last two seasons and will be looking to get back to their best in the upcoming tournament.Ā As KKR had released some big players they had one of the biggest purses in the auction as well. This allowed them to strengthen their bowling attack which was one of their weakest links last season. Apart from spending the big bucks on Mitchell Starc they also bought England bowler Gus Atkinson and Chetan Sakariya. With these big buys TV presenter Jatin Sapru had some hilarious ideas in mind.

This is where all the experts and staff started laughing. This 15-second clip is one of the viral clips on X right now with a lot of hilarious reactions from people.
