#1 Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir, the costliest buy of 2011 IPL auction was released by Delhi Daredevils ahead of IPL Auction 2019. The fourth leading run-scorer in the history of IPL failed to make a mark during his second stint with Delhi Daredevils last season.
Trending
Out of the 6 matches, he played last season, he scored just 85 runs at a poor average of 17 and strike-rate of 96.59. Delhi Daredevils found an able replacement in Prithvi Shaw last season and Gambhir was considered as surplus to their requirements. The southpaw also stepped down from captaincy as the team went through a rough run under him.
The former Delhi captain is currently down with a shoulder niggle. With Gambhir no longer effective in his captaincy, he could be omitted by the franchises in the auction and might find himself going unsold. As a result, he might be a part of the auction for the final time.
