Despite disappointing performances season after season, Delhi Capitals has still managed to establish a loyal fan base. So far, Delhi has managed to reach an IPL Final just once, and yet fans continue to rally behind their team. Cricket had been a popular sport in the nation's capital and the city had produced several international cricketers in the past.
Â
The official Instagram handle of DC has over 2.2 million followers whereas the Twitter account has 1.7 million followers. On YouTube the official Delhi Capitals account has close to 350K subscribers. Delhi Capitals' Facebook page is also very active with regular updates and uploads with 7.2 million followers.
Â
Â
Indiaâs ace opener is a master of the game. Shikhar Dhawan is simply a treat to watch when he is on the go. He was the highest run scorer for the Capitals with 521 runs in IPL 2019 and with 618 runs in IPL 2020. He will once again hold one of the two opening slots for DC in IPL 2021.
Â
Team India No. 4 in T20I cricket, Shreyas Iyer, has taken the responsibility of the Delhi Capitals like fish to water. The team has clearly flourished under his leadership for the past three years and have stepped up for each of the last three seasons. Battling with shoulder injuries ahead of IPL 2021, the 14th edition of the IPL might be the toughest for Iyer.
Â
Probably one of the most dynamic young Indian batsmen. He began his Test career with a six. One can only imagine how dangerous he becomes when it comes to T20 cricket. He was the highest run scorer for DD in 2018 with 684 runs. Since then, he has improved his game where he was criticized the most - maturity. 2021 has been the most successful year for Pant in international cricket so far and might want to reflect the same in the IPL.
Â
Amit Mishra brings a lot of experience along with him. He is the most successful Indian bowler in the history of IPL. The 38-year-old leg spinner is basically a wizard when it comes to spinning the ball and bamboozling batsmen across teams, age groups, batting positions and nationalities.
Â
R Ashwin is undoubtedly one of the biggest catches for the DC Squad as they roped him in from the Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in IPL 2020. With someone like Ravi Ashwin in their troops, the Delhi team looks far more formidable than ever before especially in the spin department.
