Gambhir quits Delhi captaincy

Delhi’s senior-most player Gautam Gambhir has decided to step down from the state Ranji side’s captaincy and has told the team management to pick a younger player for the job, an official said Monday.

“Gautam has intimated state team’s chief selector Amit Bhandari that he would like to opt out of captaincy. He has suggested that someone younger be groomed for the job,” a senior office-bearer of the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) told PTI.
