When will Delhi Capitals finally win? (PC-IPL)
New Delhi, 2023 has come from 2008. Delhi was empty handed, it is empty handed. Still waiting for a title. Delhi fans are disappointed. This time also the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race is from Delhi only. Not only this, after 2011, once again there is a danger of ‘finishing’ at the last position. Delhi The team still has 2 more league matches to play. At present, he has 8 points in his account in 12 matches. Even if they win the remaining two league matches, there will be only 12 points.
Those who may apply ointment on the wounds of the fans, but the hands will remain empty. One of these 2 matches is against Punjab Kings today. The second match is from Chennai Super Kings on 20th. There is little hope that the teams of Punjab and Chennai will give any chance to Delhi. That is, overall, now the Delhi team has to save its reputation.

The only final played in 2020
If Delhi has something to offer to its fans, then it is the year 2020. In the year 2020, the Delhi team had traveled till the finals. The match was in Dubai. Delhi won the toss and decided to bat first. Shreyas Iyer used to be the captain of the team. Delhi had added 156 runs on the scoreboard in 20 overs. In this both Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant had half-centuries.
The Mumbai team had a target of 157 runs. Rohit Sharma started with a bang. His partner was Quinton de Kock. When Quinton de Kock was out, the team’s score was 45 runs in just 4.1 overs. After this, Ishan Kishan got good support in the middle order and Mumbai won this match in just 18.4 overs. Before this, the Delhi team has also been on the third position 4 times. But this time the story is worrying.
what is the real problem of the team
As such, it is a matter of great debate and investigation in itself that what has been the problem of Delhi year after year. But if we talk about this season only, then definitely the ‘failure’ of Delhi Capitals is like the failure of the entire unit. Renowned foreign players of the team did not work, indigenous players did not play their role in the middle order. Will talk about Captain David Warner separately. Apart from them, let’s talk about other players. Mitchell Marsh scored 128 runs in 9 matches. Phil Salt scored 189 runs in seven matches. Riley Rousseau made 127 in 7 matches.
Prithvi Shaw’s performance among domestic players was disappointing. He scored 47 runs in 6 matches. The condition of the bowlers also remained the same. All the big names including Enrich Norkhya disappointed. Rishabh Pant’s absence was felt tremendously. who were injured in a road accident.
Questions on the captain’s strategy and thinking
David Warner was handling the command of Delhi. David Warner has the experience of winning titles in this league. Which he got Hyderabad in 2016. But in this season, questions were raised on both his captaincy and batting. Warner scored 384 runs in 12 matches. He scored the most runs for Delhi Capitals. But his strike rate was 126.73. With this strike rate only average runs were accumulated on the scoreboard. The interesting thing is that after 12 matches played so far in this season, there is not a single batsman except Phil Salt whose strike rate is around 150.
Now let’s talk about captaincy, Akshar Patel’s best and consistent performance for Delhi this season. He played the role of all-rounder in the right way. He scored 268 runs in 12 matches. Also took 10 wickets. Despite this, his role was kept limited. He was not sent up in the batting order. This was also one of the major issues in this season.

Ricky Ponting – Sourav Ganguly’s Khichdi
Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly are big names of world cricket. Sourav Ganguly is counted among the most successful captains of India. Ponting is the most successful captain for Australia. Both remain very ‘active’ with the team. He is seen in the dugout in almost every match. But the team does not seem to get the benefit of their thinking and understanding. The Delhi team did not do any such feat in the whole season in which the thinking of Ganguly or Ponting was visible. Slow tongue is right but it is also being said that in fact big names have come with the team but their role has not been decided properly. There is also a story behind the poor performance of the team.
