Gautam Gambhir Fans React To His Delhi Daredevils Captaincy Exit On Twitter
Bruised and battered from the poor start to their IPL 2018 campaign, and compounded by the resignation of skipper Gautam Gambhir, a beleaguered Delhi Daredevils under young Shreyas Iyer face a daunting task to lift their fortunes as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) here on Friday.
Interestingly, although the former Delhi skipper has stated that it was a voluntary decision, fans are in no mood to listen or take it at face value. Gambhir fans are disappointed to say the least. Their outburst over Gautam Gambhir's resignation on Twitter has caught social media by storm.
Here's Gautam Gambhir Fans' Reaction To His Captaincy Exit On Twitter
I wonder if Ricky Ponting did a Greg Chapell.... #GambhirStepsDown — Srinjoy Roy (@RoySrinjoy) April 25, 2018 Understood the pressure of captainship at the age of 36 while he only leads his team in ipl but he speaks much about msd and asked him to leave his captainship , now he must be realising that leading Indian team for almost 10 years is not a joke #GambhirStepsDown — Pratik Patil (@Pratik9963) April 26, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown -- I could not handle the pressure of being captain. At the age of 36 you cannot handle pressure: @GautamGambhir. #IPL2018 pic.twitter.com/QFAa6zvLPp — News18 (@CNNnews18) April 25, 2018 Had this been @KKRiders they would have still persisted with @GautamGambhir #GambhirStepsDown #IPL2018 — Subho Ghosh (@imsubhoghosh) April 25, 2018 #gambhirstepsdown he is the best captain ipl Delhi dare devil's should back their players atleast for this season they did nt bought the team properly from last 8 years Delhi is not buying the team properly they left Warner Sehwag same thing happened to viru in 2012 from captain — venkatesh (@venkate18852965) April 25, 2018 I guess, It was easier to blame one person than the entire team!!! #GambhirStepsDown — Srinjoy Roy (@RoySrinjoy) April 25, 2018 Age can play a significant role in one’s decision,I still remember #Gambhir getting out without scoring any runs in first three consecutive matches in IPL2014 and scored 1 run in 4th match. — Rut Pandya ?? (@rutpandya05) April 25, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown — Javed ANSARI (@AnsariJaved0016) April 25, 2018 Gautam Gambhir scored just 1 run in the first 4 matches of IPL 2014. KKR too didn't do well. — Manish Yadav (@ManishY61611108) April 25, 2018 This is sad. We miss u a lot at KKR. We miss u a lot at Eden Gardens. If the team failed to perform then its the fault of the whole team not yours alone. U r a winner of 2 IPL trophies. U r a champion. Proud of u Gauti. #GambhirStepsDown https://t.co/HiR47Aixpu — Arka Ukil (@ArkadebLoves) April 25, 2018 Gautam Gambhir stepped down as captain to give a fitting reply to Hasan ali for his wagah border stunt. He may need time for rehearsals. #GambhirStepsDown — Junaid Yousuf (@JYR_19) April 25, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown real issue wid DDfranchisee no in depth planning if GG performed in KKR for 7 years so why not in DD ..issue DD franchise — Rajiv Sengupta (@rsg2011) April 25, 2018 If it was Gambhir's decision to step down, the @DelhiDaredevils management should have refrained from the "bold decisions" tweet, which put a lot a lot of doubts in everyone's mind. #GambhirStepsDown — Gaurav Banerji (@G_Talking) April 25, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown — failedronin (@failedronin) April 27, 2018 Great decision by Gautam Gambhir!! He won't take any money for the upcoming matches. #proudgautian #GambhirStepsDown as a captian too — GAUTIAN_ZAID (@zaidkelkar12345) April 25, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown — failedronin (@failedronin) April 27, 2018 We should know what are our strengths and what are our limits. Sensible decision by #GautamGambhir...#GambhirStepsDown — Pankaj Kumar Karn ?? (@p4pankaj64) April 25, 2018 #GambhirStepsDown — Jaydeep sharma (@jaddu45) April 25, 2018 “Gautam has decided that he won’t take any salary from the franchise for the season. He will play remaining part of IPL for the Delhi Daredevils for free,” News18 quoted #DD #IPL2018 #KKR #GambhirStepsDown — SríHàrï (@sriharift9) April 25, 2018 Really bad decision from #Gambhir, stepping down from Captaincy. — Dino RIK™ ☄ (@DinoRIk7) April 25, 2018 GG knew his fan won't believe that he himself stepped down. So he tweeted to clarify & got more love and respect. — BTR (@Break_theRulez) April 26, 2018 This is not how you run a franchise @DelhiDaredevils. You give the new captain a long rope and refrain changing captains midseason. You are putting the guy who has been getting runs for you under pressure now by making him the new skipper.#GambhirStepsDown #IPL @ProfDeano — Hrit Chakraborty (@probuddho_c) April 25, 2018
He just couldn’t handle the pressure at this age!#GambhirStepsDown
I really cananot digest that it is his decision. I really think Ponting has something to do with that.. Poor Gambhir.....
Best IPL captain.....
From such a position, he lead KKR to winning the title.
GG isn't someone who quits in the middle of a tournament. He was forced to do so#GambhirStepsDown
GG was first the victim of Chennai Politics of Team India and now most likely the Politics (i.e. slanted politics) of KKR and DD
A talent lost due to cheapness of BCCI only.

It hurts when a grt cricketer is going to give up
1. The man of occasions (2007 , 2011 world cups)
2. only indian and 4th in world to 5 consecutive centuries in test
3. 100% win as a odi captain
4. Stand for youngsters
5. 2 ipl titles
BRAVE DECISION ?? pic.twitter.com/8MdtBbK2J9
Still believing that he's the best Captain in #IPL2018 next to Dhoni.
He should take his decision back
Hoping he didn't forget how he come back from 3 consecutive 0s and then led #KKR to Champs?#GambhirStepsDown
He is surely most honest man in cricket. @GautamGambhir #DilDIlli #GautamGambhir #Gambhir #GambhirStepsDown #GG
