The writing was pretty much on the walls for Gautam Gambhir after the last edition of the Indian Premier League. He resigned as the captain of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-delhi-daredevils-share-the-list-of-retained-and-released-players/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delhi Daredevils</a> (DD), didn’t play a single match thereafter and to add to his despair, the youngsters replacing him didn’t disappoint. He wasn’t at his best in any department and was unable to resurrect the Daredevils’ wretched fortunes in the mega tournament.

The fact that his heydays were with the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-kolkata-knight-riders-share-the-list-of-retained-and-released-players/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a> (KKR) can’t be denied. Previously, he expressed his desire to play for his home state in the T20 event, but it somehow didn’t work out for the 37-year-old and he has been released. It also means that a brand new team now has the chance to get his services. In our article, we take a look at three franchise, who can go after him in the auction.

Last year, the franchise, captained by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rishabh-pant-doesnt-want-to-compete-for-places-with-ms-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a>, went for players, most of whom were in their 30s. They possessed a significant amount of experience but didn’t quite have the fresh legs, which is paramount in the shortest format. The team was also severely trolled for selecting a team with aged players. However, they had a successful season with the tactic, which seemed bizarre in the beginning.

To be precise, Shane Watson, who retired from international cricket two and half years ago, was a major factor behind their victory against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-sunrisers-hyderabad-share-the-list-of-retained-and-released-players/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> in the final at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Bearing in mind the fact that Gambhir is a seasoned campaigner, CSK may bid for him. He isn’t a power hitter by any means but knows when to buckle down and press the accelerator.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-237759" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Gautam-Gambhir.jpg" alt="Gautam Gambhir" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-237759" class="wp-caption-text">Gautam Gambhir. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The Orange Army has mostly thrived on their incredible bowling strength over the last few seasons and the same tactic has also fetched them a significant amount of success in the T20 extravaganza. Their batting has also been pretty decent as well, but mostly at the top of the order where the likes of stalwarts like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/what-happened-was-very-disappointing-we-are-ashamed-david-warner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Warner</a>, Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan have plied their trade.

However, Dhawan has left to play for the Daredevils in the upcoming season, which also means that a massive void has been created in the Sunrisers’ top order with the departure of the left-hander. Hence, even they can bid for Gambhir in the auction. He isn’t a spring chicken anymore but still has the ability to turn out as an indispensable member of whichever team he goes on to represent in the future.

Last but not the least, the Men in Gold and Purple can go back to their favourite son. Kolkata had wonderful memories with Gambhir when he wielded his magic for them, leading them to title victories as many as twice- in 2012 and 2014 respectively- after he was picked up for a whopping 11.4 crores in 2011. He didn’t let his fans down and turned the Knights’ fortunes around in the tournament.

Moreover, the veteran became a household name in the City of Joy as he helped KKR become one of the most successful teams in the event. Even when he returned to the Eden Gardens last season in Delhi jersey, he was greeted gleefully by the throng present at the venue. Maybe being back as Knight Rider can help him extend his <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-kings-xi-punjab-release-three-big-names-from-the-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> playing career by a couple of years, something that can also benefit his team.
