IPL 2018: Rating the captains of each side

Gautam Gambhir: 8.5/10

Gambhir back with Delhi

The Delhi boy is back in his hometown and will captain the Delhi Daredevils.

Much of Kolkata Knight Riders' recent success has been because of his captaincy and Delhi would hope that we would finally make something out of the riches they have at their disposal.

Gambhir's rating is a handsome 8.5 out of 10.

Steve Smith: 8.5/10

Smith will lead a strong Rajasthan Royals squad

The Australian captain had a brilliant time as the skipper of the Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017 and hence when he walks out as the leader of Rajasthan Royals, expectations will hit the roof.

With players like Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Ajinkya Rahane and the others in the mix, Smith might just harbour ambitions of winning the IPL title.

He has been a good leader for the Australians and after clinching the Ashes, his rating stands at 8.5/10.
