How have DC fared in IPL so far?
The best season for Delhi Capitals so far remains the 2020 season where they reached till final under a strong and able leadership of Shreyas Iyer. Delhi Capitals finished 6th in the points table with 7 wins and 7 losses to their name. Despite their 14 points they were not able to qualify for the playoffs due to their poor run rate compared to Royal Challenges Bengaluru that eventually went ahead.
The Capitals had two Right To Match while going in the auction. Talking about last season they had finally assembled a formidable unit with Australian Jake Fraser McGurk grabbing all the eyeballs. Jake scored 309 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 235.87. He scored his first fifty in the tournament on his debut game. Along with JFM, the other shining prospect was Stubbs which got retained. Tristan Stubbs made a remarkable impact with the bat, accumulating 378 runs in 13 innings for his team, highlighted by an outstanding strike rate of 190.90.
