Gautam Gambhir has a strike rate of less than 100 this season

DD bought Gautam Gambhir in the auction because they wanted a captain. He has been good as a capta, but definitely Gambhir - "The batsmen" is struggling. He is just not able to rotate the strike in the first 6 overs. He has scored just 85 runs at an average of 17, which is below par for any opening batsmen. In the last 3 games, he has scores of 8 off 7 balls, 3 off 10 balls and 4 off 13 balls. These scores are just not good enough as an opener. Gautam Gambhir has been a great player in the IPL over the years and he always puts the team before himself.

Gautam Gambhir has already stepped down as captain. It will be interesting to see if he continues to play as an opening batsman or relegates himself to the bench for the rest of the tournament.
