Gautam Gambhir may have played for Delhi all his life, but starting 2011, there is no doubting that he became as much a Kolkatan as much a Delhiite in the cricketing circles. The left-hander has been pivotal to the side’s success ever since he took over as captain in 2011 and has transformed a franchise who seemed to head nowhere to a side that has become among the more consistent teams in the history of the competition.
Gambhir’s leadership skills in these years have earned him applause from several quarters and the Knight Riders will look to keep him with them, going into next year.
