Delhi Capitals is among the oldest teams in the Indian Premier League, as the team has played all of the IPL seasons till now. Unfortunately, they have yet not been able to win the Indian Premier League even once, despite making it to the playoffs six times. The closest they reached to the title was during the IPL 2020 season, where they lost against Mumbai Indians, missing out on an opportunity. The GMR Group bought the Delhi Daredevils team ahead of the first IPL season, for a whopping total of 84 million US dollars. Later in 2018, 50% stakes of the team were sold to JSW Sports at 550 crore INR. If you want to know more about the team, take a look at this blog.
