Today we talk about the companies associated with DC under different roles and supporting the team in Indian premier League 2020. Delhi Daredevils (DD) now known as Delhi Capitals (DC) have pretty much earned the tag of being the most inconsistent team in IPL. Despite having a galaxy of stars and some of the brightest cricketing minds at the helm of affairs, Delhi has never been able to reach the final hurdle of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

There was once a time when players like Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Ross Taylor, Kevin Pietersen, Andre Russell, and Dale Steyn used to play for the franchise collectively- the names suggesting the sheer magnitude of the stars that Delhi Daredevils possessed. However, the frequent change of captaincy and a choice to make among too many good players in the 11 hampered their chances to the maximum extent.

Moreover, although these players were great individual talent, there was no one to accumulate all their talents, pool them, harness them, and make a successful team out of them. That changed completely after 2019.

After 2019 however, their team underwent a sea change with new players being recruited into the team. With Ricky Ponting appointed as the head coach and Shreyas Iyer, the young prodigious Indian talent being appointed as the captain of the team, the team prospered into a well-oiled outfit with wins under their kitty. Since last season, Delhi has improved with leaps and bounds with their Indian contingent of players like Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Prithvi Shaw forming the core group of players.

In addition to that, they have also added expert overseas players like Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje– some of the most fearsome fast bowlers of this generation. Ricky Ponting has lent his tactical acumen and immense will-power to this team and has made it an outfit that can wriggle out of difficult situations. Although Delhi qualified for the playoffs last season, they are also poised to qualify for the playoffs and go all the way to winning their first IPL title this season as well. Following are some important details regarding the Delhi Capitals team, about the companies associated with DC-
