IPL: Delhi Capitals (DC) all-time greatest XI in league history

Delhi Capitals (DC) are the only franchise along with Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are active in the Indian Premier League (IPL), since the first season but failed to win the trophy. In their 16-year history, they played superb cricket in some seasons but couldn’t bring cheers to their team’s fans by winning the trophy. In 2020, they qualified for the final and came close to winning the title but Mumbai Indians (MI) shattered their dream with a convincing five-wicket victory.

In these years, DC fans didn’t see their side winning the coveted trophy for once but witnessed several quality performances from some distinguished players in their team’s jersey. Noting those extraordinary performances, it’s imperative to prepare Delhi’s all-time greatest XI.

Here is Delhi Capitals’ all-time best XI

1. Virender Sehwag

The former India opener was associated with Delhi Capitals (DC) from 2008 to 2013. For the initial two seasons, the fierce opener was also the skipper of the team. In the inaugural IPL season, Sehwag looked in amazing touch with his bat. Along with Gautam Gambhir, he did his job of delivering ferocious starts to the team efficiently.

Gambhir ended up as the leading run-scorer in the season while Sehwag also gave tough competition to his partner, notching up 406 runs in 14 matches at a stellar strike rate of 184.54. In 2013, DC released Sehwag and with this move, the legendary opener’s six-year stint with the franchise ended. Appearing in 86 games for DC in six seasons, Sehwag accumulated 2382 runs in 86 matches at a strike rate of 158.37.
