The most aggressive captain that the IPL has witnessed. Gautam Gambhir has led his franchise from the front. He has inspired the Kolkata Knight Riders to some memorable wins in the past. The 36-year-old led Delhi Daredevils in the initial few editions and later changed the fortune of the Knight Riders.

Gambhir led the Knight Riders to glory on two occasions. Captaincy helped the opening batsman to excel in the IPL. He scored at an average of around 40 in the 2012 season where KKR clinched the title. His win percentage is on the higher side with 70 wins in 123 matches. The Delhi lad is likely to lead his home franchise Delhi Daredevils in the upcoming edition of the IPL.
