Gambhir to lead Delhi Daredevils
Gautam Gambhir will lead Delhi Daredevils in the next month’s Champions League Twenty 20 and also the captain for IPL 2010 with Dinesh Karthik as his Deputy. This decision has been taken as Virender Sehwag stepped down from captaincy wanting to focus on his batting. Sehwag is currently recovering from a shoulder injury and is not included in the Champions Trophy that begins in South Africa on Tuesday.
Sehwag said “I would like to thank GMR [the Delhi franchise owners] for their understanding in accepting my request to step down. Personally, I would like to concentrate on my own batting and contribute to the team.”
The 30-year-old Sehwag welcomed the franchise’s decision to appoint Gambhir as his replacement as he felt his long-time Delhi and India opening partner had shown great leadership abilities in the past. Gambhir has an aggressive and thinking mind and brought the same attributes to his captaincy when Delhi won the Ranji Trophy under his leadership in 2007, and during the second edition of the IPL, when he was in charge during the few games that Sehwag sat out.
