Gautam Gambhir is considered to be an underrated legend in the history of Indian cricket. Many fans are of the opinion that the southpaw did not get enough respect for his contributions. However, the veteran has proved his modesty often with his kind gestures toward his fans. 

The former Indian cricketer is leading India Capitals in the Legends League Cricket and the team is doing well under him. One can bet on Gautam Gambhir’s captaincy as it was under him that the Kolkata franchise lifted the Indian T20 League trophy in 2012 and 2014 under his captaincy. 

The Delhi-born hit the headlines not very long ago for requesting the fans to stop worshipping one player alone. The 40-year-old has won hearts yet again with his kind gesture towards a teen fan who wanted his autograph. The young fan named Harshit was seen asking for an autograph and fell on his feet in the video that is going viral. 

Gautam Gambhir, well known for his modesty, requested the fan to not fall on his feet. Further, the Indian star signed the chart and made his way back to the dressing toom. This video has gone viral and fans are going crazy over it. A few of his die-hard fans have claimed that he deserves more respect from the Indian people.

The team under Gautam Gambhir is doing exceptionally well and are the current table toppers. The only loss that came for India Capitals in the Legends League Cricket was the first match in the absence of Gautam Gambhir. 

Not so long ago, the Indian veteran had hit the headlines for requesting the fans to stop hero worshipping. He said that the fans must not create monsters in the dressing room and the only monster should be team India. 

“Don’t create monsters in the dressing room. Only monster should be Indian cricket, not an individual,” he had said earlier.

The 40-year-old has been of the opinion for a long time and has stood firm by it. All said and done, Gautam Gambhir would look to make the most of the league and win the trophy for India Capitals.
