Former captain and current mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Gautam Gambhir distributed sweets to reporters on the eve of Pahela Baishakh yesterday.

Gambhir performed the heartfelt gesture yesterday after a pre-match press conference ahead of KKR's match against Lucknow Super Giants at home today.

"It's New Years tomorrow [today], so we have got sweets for you guys. So please feel free and put some calories on," Gambhir said with a smile before distributing rasgullas.

Gambir's KKR has started their campaign well in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). KKR are currently second in the points-table with three wins in four matches.

On the other hand, LSG are fourth with three wins in five matches.
