Only a couple of days ago, Gautam Gambhir who handled the reins of Delhi Daredevils stepped down from captaincy and Shreyas Iyer is named the new skipper. He took the responsibility for the team’s performance in the IPL 2018 so far and said, “As a leader of the ship, I take complete responsibility for where we are at the points table and seeing the points table and the performance, I have decided to step down and I have announced Shreyas Iyer as the next captain and that the way forward for the team. We feel he is the right guy to take the team forward. We need to win 7 out of 8 games which is absolutely possible. There have been teams who have done that in the past."
