#1 Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir has been one of the many successful captains in the Indian Premier League, having won the prestigious title twice with Kolkata Knight Riders - in 2012 and 2014. His contribution with the bat too has been phenomenal as he has scored a whopping 4217 runs in 154 matches at an average of 31.23.
Having played for the Kolkata Knight Riders for seven years since joining them in 2011, Gambhir decided to play for his home team Delhi Daredevils last season. But he had a terrible last season for Delhi, and has been released by them - making him available in the auction now.
Being one of their top performers over the years and due to his long experience in this format, the Kolkata Knight Riders might look to buy again at the 2019 IPL auction.
