Gautam Gambhir was one of the most classy batsmen. Not just he played a big role in India's maiden ICC World T20 triumph in 2007, it was his prolific innings that allowed India to win the ICC World Cup 2011. However, his career took a dip at the later stages, and this Pakistani takes the credit.
The bottom-placed Delhi take on the 4th placed KKR in the 26th fixture of the Indian Premier League. Gautam Gambhir has stepped down as Delhi's captain and the responsibility has been handed over to Shreyas Iyer. The left-hander hasn't had the best of starts to this season's IPL. A clear head, without the burden of captaincy, might fetch better results for Gambhir. New ideas, fresher approach and a stern learning. Iyer's maturity as a player will be tested. While it's a positive move, DD would like to win games and make it to the playoffs. The chances are slim but this is the IPL, where uncertainty is the norm. Delhi have managed only 2 points in 6 games and for a place in the top 4, they have to get their game plans spot on. DD vs KKR, it's redemption time for Delhi Daredevils.
