Shubman Gill posts an emotional message for his first IPL team, KKR

After excelling at the U19 and Ranji Trophy level, Gill was picked by KKR and has batted for them in middle and top order. Gill’s journey with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) came to an end with Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.

Gill was picked by KKR in the 2018 auction and played 58 matches for them in four years. He scored 1417 runs at a strike rate of 123, hitting 10 half-centuries. Gill was released by KKR, with the team opting to retain Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine.

The two new franchises were allowed three picks each ahead of IPL 2022 auction. The Ahmedabad-based franchise, owned by the CVC Capital group, opted for heavy-hitting all-rounder Hardik Pandya as their captain along with star Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill as their three picks.

 Shubman Gill took to social media to share a video montage of himself from his time at KKR. He captioned the video Kolkata; you were a dream. KKR replied in the comments section: Forever and always.

His former teammates Nitish Rana and Shivam Mavi also commented with heart and star emojis. KKR also shared a series of photos of Gill as they bid farewell to the young star.
