Delhi Daredevils have been one of the six teams currently playing in the IPL who have been one of the founding members of the league back in 2008. Although they have never reached the finals, they have topped the IPL table twice, the only team to have done so apart from Chennai Super Kings. But they have been perpetual under performers otherwise, even finishing bottom of the table on a few occasions.
This season, Delhi started well but since have tapered off. They have won four and lost seven of the 11 matches they have played so far and are second to bottom on the league standings. Their most recent match was a 146-run defeat to table-toppers Mumbai Indians. Chasing a mammoth total of 213, Delhi were bundled out for 66 in just under 14 overs. It is the biggest margin of defeat ever suffered by a team in IPL history.
