This will be the first time Delhi Capitals will go global. They will aim for nothing short of titles when these two tournaments get underway after their difficult time in the IPL.

Delhi Capitals journey in the IPL

The Delhi franchise was initially owned by GMR Group, who bagged the team ahead of the start of the million-dollar competition. In March 2018, GMR sold a 50% stake in the Delhi Daredevils to JSW Sports. The team then changed its name from the Delhi Daredevils to the Delhi Capitals. Their best season came in 2020 when they made it to the final but lost to the Mumbai Indians by five wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Last season, the -led Delhi side finished fifth in the points table and failed to make it to the playoffs. The Ricky Ponting-coached side will look to bounce back next year and win the title.
