MAIN / Cricket / IPL / Teams and players / Delhi Capitals (DC) — How Good Are They at IPL?

It could be the year when the Delhi Capitals break its bad luck streak and start climbing the success ladder. Here, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the Delhi IPL team: its history, its squads, its strengths and weaknesses, and a lot more.

Delhi Capitals IPL Statistics

Unfortunately, the team is mostly known for its underperformance in the IPL.

It is easy to forget that the Delhi Capitals were once a force to be reckoned with back in its first two seasons in the IPL when they were the Delhi Daredevils.

The team has reached some highs over the years, such as 2012 and 2019 when they reached the playoffs, but its lows have set the team in last place for several years.

Delhi Capitals Owner

The Delhi Capitals owner’s name is elusive since the team’s ownership is split between the JSW Group, a multinational conglomerate based in India, and the GRM Group, an infrastructural company with headquarters in New Delhi.

Parth Jindal is the chairman of the Delhi Capitals and oversees the management of the JSW Venture Fund. Kiran Kumar Grandhi is the corporate chairman of the GMR Group.

DC Symbols

The Delhi Capitals has undergone a series of changes to its brand, most notably, its name change from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals, This change was received with a lukewarm response from fans.

Its new logo, on the other hand, was a more welcomed addition and one that will try to deliver on the promise of breathing new life to the team.

Delhi Capitals Logo

The DC logo is composed of three tigers, which are derived from the Ashok Chakra. The logo itself is inspired by the design of India’s parliament house.

Delhi Capitals Jersey

The Delhi Capitals usual jersey is the same blue as its logo with red details. However, the team has recently worn its jerseys with multi-colored stripes along the midriff as a contrast to the sky blue. While it wasn’t explicitly stated, it can be inferred that this is the team’s way to support the LGBT+ community as they said it was to ‘celebrate diverse colors of India’.

DC Team Song

The DC team has had several team songs throughout its history.

The team launched its anthem “Munday Dilli Ke” on 5 March 2012 which became it’s most popular and beloved. Following this, the team used “Dhuandaar Dilli”, sung by Sukhwinder Singh in the 2016 season of the IPL. And in 2018, the DC team released “Dil Dilli hai, ab Dhadkega”. Lastly, in 2019, the team went for “Roar Machaa”.

Delhi Capitals Players

Some of Delhi Capitals best players are going to participate in this IPL season. This is, of course, no guarantee of success for the team, but seeing how balanced and prepared they seem to be this season, it’s safe to say that the DC might do some damage this time around.

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant is Delhi Capitals’ most promising player. Pant is a young rising talent that has been working on polishing his skills in the field, and this year could be the year where he cements his position as one of DC’s best players.

Steve Smith

Highly regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world, Smith stands out precisely for his high Test batting average as well as his consistency in the field. Suffice to say that the batting game of a team should not rely on the shoulders of just one player, but if that were ever the case, then there wouldn’t be a better fit than Steve Smith’s shoulders.

Shikhar Dhawan

Bringing a bit of balance to the team comes Shikhar Dhawan a left-handed opening batsman who has occasionally played as right-arm off break bowler. Recently, Shikhar Dhawan became the first batsman in IPL history to score back-to-back hundreds. His expertise and years of experience has brought a bit of hope to those who want to see the DCs make a comeback this season.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Another record breaker makes his way to the team in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin. As the fastest Indian bowler to reach the 50-, 100-, 150-, 200-, 250-, 300- 350- and 400 wicket mark in Test cricket, he seems like the all-rounder that the team needs, which would explain why the the capitals decided to retain him for this season as well.

Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada became the highest wicket taker for DC last season by picking up 30 wickets in the 17 matches he played. He’s played a significant role in the team’s success since his inclusion and seems to continue to do so this season.

Delhi Capitals Captain — Shreyas Iyer

The captain of Delhi Capitals is none other than Shreyas Santosh Iyer, a cricketer with an astounding track record playing for India internationally.

The DC captain joined the team in the 2015 IPL auction where he was signed for 2.6 crores (around $430,000), becoming the highest-earning uncapped player in the tournament.

He plays as right-handed batsman and is highly regarded by the rest of the team. Iyer has been the youngest player to obtain captaincy for the Capitals.
