Delhi Daredevils Team 2016
Delhi Daredevils is one of those teams which always looks strong on paper but do not perform in the ground. It’s been so many seasons of IPL and Champions League Twenty20 and still Delhi Daredevils has never been into the finals. The team always gets a good start during the league matches but somehow they don’t reach semifinals or finals. The team had some big names in the past like Virender Sehwag, T. Dilshan, AB de Villiers and despite these big names, Delhi had still not left any mark on the tournament.
Delhi Daredevils was purchased by GMR Group for $84 million and the team is currently coached by former Indian coach, Gary Kirsten. Feroz Shah Kotla is their primary home ground while Raipur International Cricket Stadium is their secondary home ground. The team is still struggling to find its captain and there is no confirm news on who will be captaining the team. IPL has never been a good place for Delhi Daredevils as they always find their place at the bottom of the points table.
