2- Gautam Gambhir
The veteran left handed batsman was released by Delhi Daredevils as he failed to create an impact for his home franchise like he did for Kolkata Knight Riders. Leaving the first game against Kings XI Punjab, Gambhir had a pretty ordinary IPL season this year as he could just manage 85 runs in six games. His side also lost five out of six games that he captained and Gautam finally did what best for the team and stepped down from captaincy making way for youngsters.
His form in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare trophy was consistent and he is again scoring runs in Ranji trophy but with IPL 2019 likely to be held in South Africa due to general elections in India, franchises may be looking forward to foreign talents to tackle the pace and bounce. Gambhir is still not a handy customer when it comes to facing chest height deliveries on fast paced wickets of South Africa.
