From the Archives: When Gambhir joined Delhi as captain only to step down after few games

Gautam Gambhir stepped down as captain of the Delhi Daredevils after a disastrous start to their campaign in IPL 2018.

Shreyas Iyer will lead Delhi for the remainder of the tournament.

Gambhir was not retained by Kolkata Knight Riders. As KKR skipper, he had led the side to two IPL titles.

In the player auction in January, Gambhir was bought by Delhi Daredevils for Rs 2.8 crore.

Gamhhir, who has 4217 runs from 154 IPL matches since 2008, has been in poor form this season. From six matches, Gambhir has scored only 85 runs at a strike rate of 96.59.
