IPL 2018: Rating the new IPL captains 

#4 Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir led Delhi for the first time in 2010

Gautam Gambhir has been the captain of an IPL team since 2010 but he is the new captain for the Delhi Daredevils this year and is hence included in this list. He has been a prolific captain for the Kolkata Knight Riders taking the side to two titles in his stint there.

Gambhir's homecoming though hasn't been up to the expectations. He was expected to take the team to its first title this year but if the first two games are any indication then the team management may end up disappointed.

Gambhir has a great team at his disposal and it is up to him to take this talented side to the title, but he somehow has found it difficult to make these individual stars perform as a team. He has also been shuffling the batting order with Pant being used as a finisher and that is one area which if worked upon could help the team.

The team looked a lot better in the third game but only time would tell if the team can continue to perform in a similar manner. Gambhir has to get the youngsters in his team to perform well which is something he has been unable to do so far.

Rating: 6.5/10
