Delhi Capitals

DC is a prominent franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), based in the Indian capital, New Delhi. Originally founded in 2008 as Delhi Daredevils, the team was rebranded as Delhi Capitals in 2018. The franchise is owned by a consortium of investors, including the GMR Group and JSW Group.

DC has seen a significant transformation in recent years, particularly with a focus on youth and a more balanced approach to team-building. While they have not yet won an IPL title, they have been competitive and have reached the playoffs several times. Their best finish came in 2020, when they made it to the final but were defeated by Mumbai Indians.

The team has seen contributions from star players like Shreyas Iyer (former captain), Rishabh Pant, Kagiso Rabada, and Prithvi Shaw. Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, DC has built a reputation for being a team with explosive batting and strong bowling.
