Though the Kolkata skipper missed out on a century on couple of occasions, Gautam Gambhir's consistency has ensured KKR their maiden berth in the finals of IPL history. Icing on the cake, the skipper ended with second best runs aggregate in the tournament with 588 runs, next only to the mammoth 733 of Gayle! Definitely, worth the price tag SRK put on him.
