Delhi is one franchise who has tried, literally, everything in order to win the IPL title. But nothing looked paying off so far. This year they opted to change the name of the franchise. Hence, Delhi Daredevils became Delhi Capitals. Earlier, they went for entire team change and Gautam Gambhir was roped in to lead them. But Delhi being Delhi, this didn’t work for them and Gauti dropped himself for a poor batting display.

In comes Shreyas Iyer – the skipper. He scored unbeaten 93 against Kolkata Knight Riders on the night of his captaincy debut.
