Following a poor start to ♉the ongoing Indian P﷽remier League (IPL), Gautam Gambhir stepped down from Delhi Daredevils (DD) captaincy. Shreyas Iyer will lead the side for the rest of the tournament.
“It was absolutely my decision,” said Gambhir at a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday. “I haven’t contributed enough. So I owe that responsibility considering where we are in the points table.”
The Daredevils are languishing at the eighth spot in the points table꧑ with just one win in six matches. They are lying just below the Mumbai Indians.
The two-time IPL c⛦hampion captain had shifted to the Delhi franchise this se👍ason after seven years of successful run with the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Gambhir has however failed to produce the results and has also failed with the bat put🐻ting a question ma꧑rk on his place in the eleven. He has aggregated just 85 in six matches, averaging just 17.
