Gambhir is an influential leader who helped the Knights to clinch two titles in three years. The opener led the Delhi Daredevils to the semifinals in two consecutive editions of the tournament.

The 36-year-old is the best available skipper for the franchises, his aggression on the ground and his inputs off the field may help the youngsters to bring their 'A' game to the table.

The Delhi Daredevils might look to bring Gambhir back into their lineup. Before the retention event, Gambhir expressed his wish to play for his former franchise.
