#1. Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir had a phenomenal IPL career. The southpaw is one of the finest players to play in IPL. In 2011, KKR signed him for a huge price in the auction. He was asked to lead a completely new team and he delivered.
Under his captaincy, KKR won two titles in three years. He even contributed with the bat in those two titles. He is one of the most successful captains in the IPL. He showed that he has a really fine cricketing brain. He was performing well till the 2017 season but it somehow wasn’t working in the last season.
Last year, he went back to his home side Delhi to try and help them win their maiden title. But it wasn’t to be. He struggled with his batting as he didn’t score enough runs in the first 5-6 games. He stepped down from the captaincy and handed it over to the young Shreyas Iyer.
Gambhir retired from all forms of cricket midway through this domestic season. He won’t be a part of this IPL and would be definitely missed not only as a player, but also as a captain.
