For the first time since Congress in 1984, a single party won more than 300 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved this rare feat in 2019 elections under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. They managed to capture 302 seats out of 543 in the general elections and the NDA is all set for a second term. This victory turned out to be a proud moment for the cricketing fraternity as Gautam Gambhir also had a role to play in the win.

The former cricketer, who retired from all forms of cricket recently, contested the elections from the East Delhi constitution on a BJP ticket. It was a hard-fought contest for him. He had the likes of AAP’s Atishi and Congress’ Arvinder Singh Lovely up against him. But just as he’s done several times on the cricket field, Gambhir wasn’t bogged down by the opposition. The left-handed batsman put up an excellent fight defying all the odds.

The strong allegations from the opposition couldn’t stop him neither did his inexperience in the field affect him. Gautam Gambhir managed to gain a huge majority in the contest and the other two were nowhere close to him. This victory has brought immense joy to his fans as well as his former teammates. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was amongst many others who greeted Gauti after the victory.

Congratulations my brother for your win

Bhajji took it to Twitter to share his happiness after this terrific win. He congratulated Gautam Gambhir and wished him the best for the future. “Congratulations my brother for your win @GautamGambhir more power to you @BJP4India,” wrote Harbhajan Singh in his tweet.

Gambhir had an interesting response to this tweet. He thanked the 38-year-old and added that his wishes meant a lot to him. He even noted that he wanted to make a difference to as many lives as possible. Moreover, Gambhir seemed to be impressed with Harbhajan’s performance in IPL 2019. He mentioned about the turn and the bounce the off-spinner was extracting and feels that there is still a lot left in the Punjab cricketer.

“Thanks a lot Bhajji paa. Ur wishes mean a lot to me. Just hoping to make a difference to as many lives as possible. Saw a glimpse of you in @IPL, the turn, the bounce everything is there Phaji. लगता है picture अभी बाक़ी है।,” he wrote.
