Today, we were shocked to realize that Gautam Gambhir quit captaincy of Delhi Daredevils today. He did so because he couldn’t handle the pressure of the team losing 5 out of 6 matches.
Twitter was filled with respect for Gambhir’s decision. During a press conference, Gambhir said that quitting captaincy is purely his own decision. After this, he took one more decision and again, your hearts will be filled with respect for him.
After stepping down as the captain of DD, Gambhir has decided to let go his entire IPL salary i.e. 2.8 crores. According to him, the team has shown a poor performance in the tournament and hence, this decision is justified.
Speaking about this, Gautam said that he failed to perform as a skipper or player and so, there’s no point in taking any salary. He was purchased by Delhi Daredevils for 2.8 crores and after seeing the performance, he has let it go.
This has happened for the first time in the history of IPL that a player won’t be taking his salary.
This is how Twitter reacted;
What a Man!

Exemplary step!
Exemplary step by Gautam Gambhir for not taking salary for non-performance. India should have a similar law for politicians and babus. Goddamn leeches just suck the country dry— Kejri Dutt (@MightyTroll4) April 25, 2018
