The left-handed opener has led by example, being the leading scorer for the Knight Riders this season with 421 runs.
Yesterday, in their grudge match against the Sourav Ganguly-led Pune Warriors, it was no different as Gambhir's 36-ball 56, his third half-century from as many matches, set the platform in their seven-run victory.
The Indian selectors not very long ago had removed Gambhir from the vice-captaincy ahead of the Asia Cup but for SRK Gambhir is the best.
"In my eyes, he is genuinely the finest captain that I have seen. Yes, I have seen most of them from outside. I am a cricket follower. But leading from the front and the way he talks to the boys, I think he is the most awesome captain.
"Apart from that he is a gentleman -- a really genuine gentleman. I very seldom get impressed by leaders, but I am very impressed by Gautam Gambhir," SRK said after their win last evening. MORE
