Significantly, Kolkata Knight Riders won named IPL trophies two times 2012 and 2014 but in 2018, the team left released Gautam Gambhir for open auction. After that, Delhi Daredevils from where Gautam Gambhir started his IPL journey took back him in the squad. He again became the skipper of Delhi Daredevils but as a team, DD performed really worst and they lost the tournament.
I gotta say.. I don't like retirements.. especially of people that I admire deeply. Congratulations @GautamGambhir on an amazing career. I'm grateful for all that we shared on and off the field. It's been an honour skip. My best wishes on ur second innings.
