New Delhi, April 25: Due to the back to back loss in the Matches, the Delhi Daredevils captain has reportedly stepped down as skipper.

In this regard, Shreyas Iyer will replace the former Kolkata Knight Riders skipper and lead the club for the remaining campaign of IPL 11.

Gambhir said in a press conference on Wednesday, "I take full responsibility for the position we are in. And looking at the position, I have decided to step down as captain. Shreyas Iyer will take over. I still feel we have the team to turn things around this."

Delhi Daredevils coach Ricky Ponting said that he respected Gambhir's decision of putting the team ahead of himself. "Respect Gambhir for putting team ahead of himself. I fully endorse Iyer as captain," he said.
