IPL 2018 : 5 Key Indian players for Delhi Daredevils

#5 Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir will lead Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2018

Gautam Gambhir is back to Delhi Daredevils for IPL 2018 and the elegant left-hander will be looking to lead the Delhi outfit to their first ever IPL triumph. To say that his stay with the Kolkata Knight Riders was profitable would be an understatement.

He displayed excellent leadership skills throughout his tenure at Kolkata with the Knight Riders and he led them to multiple IPL triumphs. His batting also flourished and he was efficient at the top of the KKR batting order.

The Delhi management will hope that he reproduces those great performances and comes good at the top of the order for the Delhi Daredevils. He is an excellent timer of the cricket ball and is an ideal T20 opener.

He still has a lot of cricket left in him and he would hope that he has a good IPL 2018. His presence in the Delhi dressing room will be useful for youngsters and they will surely get to learn a lot from Gambhir.

He has scored 4132 runs in 148 IPL games so far. He strikes the ball at an impressive rate of 124.60 in the league and has 35 half-centuries to his name. His average of 31.78 is also quite impressive.
