Cricketer Gautam Gambhir steps down as Delhi Ranji Skipper

New Delhi: Cricketer Gautam Gambhir on Monday stepped down as the captain of the Delhi Ranji team and said it was time for the young guns to lead the squad. The left-handed batsman took to Twitter to announce his decision and said: “Time to pass the captaincy baton to youngsters, hence have requested the DDCA selectors not to consider me for that role. I will be in the background helping the new leader to win games.”

Reportedly, middle-order batsman Nitish Rana, 24, would be appointed as the new captain for the ongoing 2018-19 Ranji season after Gambhir’s decision. Delhi is slated to face Himachal Pradesh on November 12 at their homeground Feroz Shah Kotla. IANS
