Gautam Gambhir returned to the Delhi Daredevils after playing seven seasons with the Kolkata Knight Riders. The left-hand Indian batsman, who led KKR to the title glory in 2012 and 2014, was highly anticipated player for Delhi who could turn their fortunes.

But did not pan out as both Gambhir and the franchise would have liked. Just after 6 games of DD, the Indian batsman stepped down as their skipper due to his bad run in this IPL. This news came as a shock to every Delhi Daredevils fans. The captaincy role was then provided to Shreyas Iyer.

What followed the decision was that Gambhir never featured in rest of the DD's matches. In the six matches that Gambhir played, he managed to score 85 runs, from which he had scored a knock of 55 in his very first game of the season.
