Gautam Gambhir began his captaincy with the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League on a winning note, smacking a half-century to guide his team to a five-wicket victory over the Kings XI Punjab in Mohali.
Put into bat, the Kings XI lost wickets in a flurry at the top of the order, but Ravi Bopara boosted the total with a commanding performance, the opener making 56 in a modest total of 142 for nine.
The Daredevils' chase faltered at the start, but Gambhir made an imperious 72 and Mithun Manhas struck an unbeaten 31 to power their team to victory.
