Kolkata were in a spot of bother when they lost Robin Uthappa (13) and Manish Pandey (0) in one over by Domnic Joseph.
Suryakumar Yadav hit 24 runs before getting dismissed by Nathan Coulter-Nile that brought Pathan to the crease, who added 65 runs for the fourth wicket with Gambhir.
It was a typical knock from Gambhir as he looked to steer mainly through the third-man region to keep the scorecard moving and amassed a fine fifty.
The Kolkata captain found an able partner at the other end in Yadav, who muscled a few shots down the ground.
Yadav's eyes certainly lit up when JP Duminy introduced himself into the attack. He carted Delhi's captain down the ground for a six in the eighth over before perishing to Coulter-Nile.
Once Yadav was dismissed, Pathan clobbered the bowlers to all corners of the ground to take his team to victory.
