IPL 2018: Captains and their favorite oppositions

#4 – Gautam Gambhir (vs Kings XI Punjab)

Gautam Gambhir has given Kings XI Punjab a tough time in any IPL jersey

Gambhir has played for two franchises as well – Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders. His hunger of runs in any jersey is well known. He was the anchor of the KKR batting line-up in the seven seasons he was playing for them. During that time especially, his records against Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore were incredible.

Against RCB, he is the highest run-getter of all batsmen with 644 runs. But taking more parameters into account, it is unquestionable that he likes to feast more on Kings XI Punjab. When Delhi played their first match of the IPL 2018 against them, there were no nerves from the veteran as he scored another fifty. In all, at present, he has 726 runs against KXIP averaging 42.70 and a strike rate of 125.60. It seems like no one can overtake him as Chris Gayle is playing for Punjab this season and ironically was the highest run-getter against them.
