When Kolkata Knight Riders released Gautam Gambhir earlier this month, it was perhaps the biggest development in the cricketing circles.
There was, however, speculation that KKR may bring its captain using the Right to Match card.
But on Saturday, the Indian discard batsman, who has had a decent outing at the domestic level this time, was roled in by Delhi Daredevils for Rs 2.8 crore.
Gambhir was a part of the KKR outfit since 2011 and under his captaincy, the side went on to win two IPL titles.
After returning to the Delhi Daredevils, the side from where he started his IPL journey, the southpaw took to Twitter to post a heart-winning video message for his fans.
Thanks @kkr for all d support. Will miss Kolkata and Eden. Now, time to try and turn it around for @DelhiDaredevils @IPL. Happy to be back… pic.twitter.com/Wx53ilU9ka
