Setting all rumours to the rest, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir on Thursday confirmed his participation in the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Gambhir, who captained the Kolkata Knight Riders to the title last year, has been suffering from mild jaundice. This had created doubts about his participation in the IPL.
“I am available for the IPL. It’s a mild jaundice, hoping to be good in 4-5 days time,” Gambhir tweeted.
