Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir is reportedly in the running to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as a BJP candidate from New Delhi.

According to NDTV, the 37-year-old may contest from the prestigious New Delhi constituency, currently held by the party’s Meenakshi Lekhi, in the national election in April-May.

Gambhir, who retired from all forms of cricket in December and was recently awarded the Padma Shri, has remained non-committal whenever asked about joining politics.
