New Delhi, Sep 21 (ANI): Star Indian opener Virender Sehwag on Monday stepped down from the captainship of the Indian premier league (IPL) team Delhi Dare Devils.

Another Indian opening batsman Gautam Gambhir will replace Sehwag.

Sehwag is sidelined for over four months from the Indian squad.

Gambhir said he would draw from his experience of leading the Delhi Ranji team while captaining the Daredevils.

Gambhir added that, he would seek Sehwag and other senior player's advice as and when needed during his stint.

Sehwag who is suffering from shoulder injury missed the Twenty20 World Cup in England, the One-day series in the West Indies and the recently-concluded the tri-nation one day international Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka. (ANI)
