Gambhir is a popular figure in Kolkata and is considered a hero by many after leading KKR to two IPL titles. In 2012, Gambhir led Kolkata Knight Riders to their first IPL title.
However, the crowd in Kolkata did not show any support to the present Lucknow Super Giants mentor as they chanted Virat Kohli’s name as a taunt following the duo’s on-field spat during the ongoing tournament.
Meanwhile, LSG went to the playoffs after beating KKR, becoming the third team after Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans to do so.
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by one run in their final league game to qualify for the IPL play-offs on Saturday.
Nicholas Pooran smashed a 30-ball 58 to take Lucknow Super Giants to a competitive 176 for eight after being sent in to bat.
Chasing, Rinku Singh remained unbeaten on 67 off 33 balls while Jason Roy made 28-ball 45 up the order but it was not enough as KKR could manage 175 for seven.
