Delhi Daredevils is another franchise which has failed to deliver despite boasting some of the biggest names in cricket. Virender Sehwag captained the side in 2008, 2009 & 2012 when they qualified for the playoffs.

Injury concerns for their talisman made multiple captains in the form of Dinesh Karthik in 2010, James Hopes in 2011, Mahela Jayawardena & David Warner in 2013, Kevin Pietersen in 2014 and JP Duminy in 2015. But this couldn't change the fortunes of the team.

Zaheer Khan led a young side in 2016 & 2017. Gambhir was again brought back to the team to lead them in 2018. But lack of runs made him drop himself and appointed Shreyas Iyer as the captain. He relished the role and performed well in the second half of the tournament.
