Kolkata Knight Rider skipper
Gautam Gambhir is a serious man. No matter how much captain cool he is, you would never find Gautam
Gambhir tapping his foot during any of the
IPL afterparties. But thanks to
Vivo IPL, Gambhir actually danced some steps.
In his column on
Hindustan Times, Gambhir wrote, neither his wife
Natasha nor Team owner
Shahrukh Khan has been able to make Gambhir dance ever.

"Let me share a little story," wrote Gambhir. "I am a quintessential Punjabi who loves his butter chicken and daal. I love my Punjabi music but not those DJ kinds. But I never dance which is very un-Punjabi and akin to an Aussie cricketer who doesn't sledge! I never ever have, not even to please my wife or erstwhile female interests. Not even Mr.
Khan (Shah Rukh) could make me dance at any of
KKR's IPL after-match parties.”
"But then there is always a first.
Yes,
yours truly shook his leg and that too for a sponsor's shoot. Yes, I did. I know my wife Natasha will kill me for this as I have turned down her demands, instructions, and even appeals to shake a leg with her. I didn't even dance at my brother-in-law's bachelor's party which Natasha says is "criminal"."
"Anyways, post my debut gig, my
KKR mates are out to get me. That smirk never leaves
Yusuf Pathan's face,
Surya Kumar Yadav is offering me dance tips in exchange of batting tips. One other gentleman has quietly told me never to dance again. Well...”
Gambhir, like a true captain, has pushed KKR to a 10-wicket victory against
Gujarat Lions last night.
