The two-time IPL winning-captain with Kolkata Knight Riders had asked the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned team not to retain him as he wanted to finish his IPL career with the Daredevils.KKR obliged and DD picked him up at the IPL auction for Rs 2.80 crore, much to the delight of Brent Burns Jersey the fans back in Delhi.

Daredevils also have Ricky Ponting on board as head coach this season which means the team http://www.sanjosesharksofficialonline.com/Adidas-Marc-edouard-Vlasic-Jersey now consists of two of the best cricketing minds in the game.Even though he did not reveal the details, Ponting did say after the auction that the team management was Womens Norichika Aoki Jersey looking at Gambhir as a possible captain.
"We are expecting Gambhir to lead by example. We have a good Indian core, and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order. All in all, it looks good," Ponting said after the auction on Sunday.
Along with Gambhir and Ponting, Delhi also have one of the best bowling lineups now, thanks to the management's decision to use the Right to Match cards for superstars like Mohammed Shami and South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada while South African all-rounder Chris Morris was one of the three players retained by the franchisee.

Gambhir's departure has now left a big void in KKR's ranks, who had picked him up for a then-record fee of Rs 11.04 crore in 2011.
