For whom will Gautam Gambhir play in the next Indian Premier League? It is learnt that as many as three franchises will try to rope in the India opener at the players' auction in Bangalore on January 8 and 9.

That doesn't mean Delhi Daredevils will not be interested in him. It is learnt from a Daredevils source, that they would be ready to bid for him for $1.2 million.

They have retained only Virender Sehwag by removing $1.8 million from their 9 million-salary purse.u00a0

Kolkata Knight Riders in all probability will not go with big money for Sourav Ganguly at the player's auction.

However, KKR will go with huge money for Gambhir in the auction, and offer him the captaincy too, it isu00a0 learnt.u00a0
Kochi and Pune would also bid for Gambhir. But wherever he goes, all the franchises are trying to lure him with both money and captaincy.

Franchise officials have been impressed with his success as India captain against New Zealand in the recently concluded one-day series.

KKR have had a disappointing time in all the three editions of the Twenty20 extravaganza.
