A change of name from Daredevils to Capitals injected new life in a historically bad Delhi team last season. Heading into IPL 2019, Delhi wasn’t expected to do well last year, but they turned out to be the surprise package of the season.
An impressive third place finish in the group stage and winning their eliminator match against Hyderabad proved that Delhi could disrupt the IPL status quo. A loss to Chennai ended their fairytale run, but they will be looking to run it back in 2020.
Delhi made big ticket acquisitions in the off season, trading in R Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane.
