# 3 IPL (2008-18)
Delhi Daredevils picked Gauti in the inaugural season of IPL. He replaced Virender Sehwag as the captain of the franchise in 2010. He was the first DD players to score more than 1000 IPL runs.
In the 2011 auction, Kolkata Knight Riders picked him, and he was the most expensive player. Under his captaincy, KKR reached the playoffs for the first time. In 2012, KKR lifted the IPL trophy for the first time by defeating the defending champions CSK in the finals. In 2014, his team lifted the trophy for the second time by defeating KXIP in the finals. He was the highest run-scorer for KKR in the IPL history.
The franchise released Gambhir before the 2018 Auction as he wanted to win an IPL trophy for his home team DD. But due to his poor form, he resigned from captaincy on 25 April 2018 and was replaced by Shreyas Iyer. He was dropped from the playing XI.
