IPL 2019: 5 talking points this season

#2 Rise of Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals dominated this season of IPL

After a poor run of form in IPL over the last few years, the Delhi team entered this year's IPL with a new name - Delhi Capitals instead of Delhi Daredevils to change their fortunes.

With a new look coaching staff that included the likes of the legendary Ricky Pointing and Sourav Ganguly and a young captain like Shreyas Iyer, the Delhi team did actually good to themselves this season.

They made it to the playoffs this season for the first time since 2012 with some really good performances both from the batsmen and the bowlers. Shreyas Iyer led from the front, scoring more than 400 runs this season, and was equally supported by the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, whereas Kagiso Rabada and Ishant Sharma handled the bowling duties, with help from the spinners.

The fans cheered for the Capitals and hoped for their maiden IPL title this year, but were defeated in the eliminator by the might of CSK. Though they might have lost this year, it has made them believe that they can win matches and also lift the trophy in the coming years.
