Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir sent a special message to his former Indian teammate Rohit Sharma as he celebrates his birthday today. The Mumbai Indians skipper has had a tough time in this year’s IPL season, but Gambhir still feels that Sharma is the only batter who gave him nightmares.
In a special tweet for his birthday, Gautam Gambhir posted a picture of himself meeting Rohit Sharma during a match between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium. He wrote in the caption that Rohit was the only batter who used to give him nightmares while he was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals in IPL.
Here’s what Gambhir wrote on Twitter:
“Birthday greetings to the only batsman who’s given me nightmares as a captain. Thankfully I don’t captain anymore.”

Gambhir cheekily wrote in the caption that he is happy he does not have to captain anymore. However, almost every cricket fan would know that the 2011 Cricket World Cup winner has played a massive role in Lucknow Super Giants’ success this season. He is the mentor of the new franchise, and they are close to qualifying for the playoffs in their debut season itself.
Manish Pandey had recently revealed some lesser-known things about Gautam Gambhir
In a recent video posted by the Lucknow Super Giants on social media, LSG batter Manish Pandey revealed his experience of working with Gambhir and said:
“He’s getting old now, honestly. We know that there’s something behind those clothes. I played with him in KKR a couple of years ago and have hardly seen him smile. We got to be away from him when the times are tough.”
