IPL 2018: Highest individual score for each franchise in IPL history

#6 Delhi Daredevils (119, Virender Sehwag)

The first captain of Delhi Daredevils

Delhi Daredevils were the least successful team during the first decade of IPL. Despite having world class players like AB de Villiers, David Warner and Ross Taylor in their squad, the team often struggled to win matches on a constant basis and were near the bottom of the table during most of the seasons.

They, however, managed to reach the play offs in three seasons and there was one player who was instrumental in each of those appearances. The same man also has the highest individual score among all DD batsmen, and that man is the Nawab of Najafgarh, Virender Sehwag.

Against a bowling heavy Deccan Chargers team in 2011, Delhi Daredevils were chasing a target of 176. Despite losing three partners in quick succession, Sehwag didn't get bogged down and smashed the Chargers' bowlers, especially Amit Mishra.

By the time Sehwag got out in the 17th over, he had scored 119 runs from 56 balls, hit 13 fours and smashed the ball out of the park 6 times. His onslaught was enough for Delhi Daredevils to capitalise, as they went on to chase the target in the 19th over with 4 wickets in hand.
