Gautam Gambhir turned into a meme template when he was posed the question about his favourite footballer between Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. His answer of Marcus Rashford had left the internet amazed, giving birth to a plethora of ‘odd one out’ memes, playfully poking fun at Gambhir’s unconventional pick.
During the KKR Knights Dugout Podcast, Gambhir was asked about the memes.
Here’s what he said: “If you are asking me about my favourite player, then don’t give me options. They could have asked me Messi or Ronaldo – who’s a better player? Then I might have answered. But they asked me who my favourite player was. That’s why I answered Marcus Rashford.”

Gambhir a constant presence in the KKR dugout with serious or at times very animated and aggressive expressions, said people don’t come to the stadium to see him smile. “People don’t come to watch me smile, People come to see KKR win,” said Gambhir who felt KKR has the most loyal and passionate fans in the country.
Gambhir said that he knew Sunil Narine was going to be a legend when he played against him on his international debut.
