The 36-year-old played for DD in the first three years before moving to KKR in 2011, leading them to two titles in his seven-year stay.
The KKR management has revealed that Gambhir was in their scheme of things but the left-handed batsman wanted to explore new avenues and asked the franchise not to retain or bid for him.
