Gautam Gambhir’s Source of Income

IPL Income

Gautam Gambhir is one of the all-time greats of the IPL. He has achieved everything in the IPL. Whether trophies or getting picked up for record money. He has won 2 IPL trophies with KKR and is one of the main reasons behind the rise of some of the current Indian superstars like Kuldeep Yadav and Surya Kumar Yadav. 

Gambhir started his journey in IPL with his hometown team Delhi Daredevils (Delhi Capitals) for 2.9 crores and after spending 3 three seasons, he moved to Kolkata Knight Riders for record 11.04 crores, which made him the highest-earning cricketer in the 2011 IPL season.

He spent 7 years there and won 2 IPL trophies along with a consistent appearance in the playoffs. Those years are considered glorious in Gambhir’s career as he set many milestones with bat and won trophies as captain.

In 2018, prior to mega auctions, Gautam Gambhir requested Kolkata Knight Riders management to release him as he wanted to finish his IPL career at Delhi Capitals. He moved to the Delhi side that season for 2.8 crores and was appointed captain.

But in mid-season, after a series of bad results, Gambhir stepped down as captain and even returned his salary to the team as he wasn’t able to help the team to reach playoffs. This gesture from Gambhir was one of the highlights of his love for cricket.
