"For me, results matter, because people come to watch KKR win" - Gautam Gambhir ahead of Kolkata's IPL 2024 clash vs RCB

KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir recently spoke about how he doesn't believe in just focusing on the process but is more concerned about the result.

The former cricketer suggested that for him winning is paramount as people come to watch Kolkata do well.

Gambhir said on the Knights dugout podcast:

"I say it very openly that results do matter to me. I don't believe in this word called 'Process' & 'Do the process right, results will take care of their own'. For me, results matter, because people come to watch KKR win."

Kolkata comfortably chased down Bengaluru's target of 183 when the two sides locked horns for the first time in IPL 2024. Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine were the top performers with the bat, scoring 50 and 47, respectively.
