Gautam Gambhir is one of the most selfless cricketers that the cricketing world has ever witnessed. Gambhir started his IPL journey with Delhi Capitals in the year 2008. The left-handed batsman, proving his worth, smacked 534 runs in 14 matches to become the second highest run-getter in that season. Looking at his performances, Gambhir was handed the captaincy in the year 2010.

In 2011 player auction, Kolkata Knight Riders signed the veteran at a whopping price of INR 11.4 crores and was immediately handed the captaincy. KKR qualified for the playoffs and eventually to the Champions League for the first time that year.

In 2012, Gautam Gambhir led KKR to their first ever IPL title by thrashing the defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the finals. He was the second highest run-scorer in the mega event. Two years later, in 2014, KKR won their second IPL title by defeating Kings XI Punjab in the finals. The skipper led KKR to the playoffs in 2016 and 2017 IPL season.

In 2018, Gautam Gambhir played his last IPL season for Delhi Capitals and after his poor run, the veteran decided to step down and handed the captaincy to young Shreyas Iyer.
