Prior to the 2018 Auctions, Gautam Gambhir decided he would leave KKR and play what turned out to be his last season for his home franchise, Delhi, and it looked like a fairytale waiting to soon materialize into a reality.

But, as it happens often, fairytales seldom turn into reality, and it was pretty much the case for Delhi and Gambhir. On the back of a horrendous run-of-form for his side [four-straight defeats] and himself, Gambhir decided to step back from the leadership duties. Shreyas Iyer was handed over the captaincy and Gautam Gambhir did not feature in any of the games thereafter.
