it was a weird one IPL Weather for Delhi Capitals; In an instant, he headed for his second straight IPL final, the very next he was out. Delhi Capitals were the team to beat in the entire group stages as they defeated almost every franchise this season apart from Royal Challengers Bangalore, who doubled on them. The Delhi Capitals players also did well individually throughout the season, with Shikhar Dhawan and Avesh Khan finishing in the top five of the Orange Cap and Purple Cap lists respectively.
Rishabh Pant’s team missed out on qualifying for the IPL final in terms of balls. In Qualifier 1, CSK beat him on the third last ball of the match, and then in Qualifier 2, Rahul Tripathi hit a match-winning six off the final ball of the game.

high Point
Full group stage! They were at the top of the table with 20 points at the end of the group stage. As mentioned earlier, they beat almost every team this season apart from Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, their win over CSK in the group stage was a proper champion-like performance. First, their bowlers restricted CSK to 139, and then the DC batsmen chased down the target in 19.4 overs.
The final point
Their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last match of the group stage essentially derailed their season. RCB needed 15 runs in the final over, and KS Bharat hit Avesh Khan for a six off the last ball to help RCB register a double over DC. After that the capitals of Delhi were never the same.
captaincy decision
Rishabh Pant was handed the captaincy after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a shoulder injury, and he embraced his new role as a natural. His batting performance also matured as he restrained himself from unnecessarily aggressive batting. It was no surprise when DC decided to retain him as captain even after Shreyas Iyer returned. Do we have a future captain of India?
most valuable Player
Avesh Khan? Shikhar Dhawan? Enrique Nortje? There are a lot of contenders for the MVP title. Avesh Khan, with 24 wickets, finished as the second highest wicket-taker of the season. With another 400+ run season and a seasoned opener, Shikhar Dhawan finished as one of the top five run-getters of the season. Next is Enrique Nortje, who often troubled the opposition batsmen with his fast pace. He finished with an economy of 6.16, which is the best by any bowler who has bowled more than 25 overs this season.

great disappointment
His middle order. The top three batsmen did the heavy lifting throughout the season with Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant scoring 587, 489 and 419 runs respectively. None of the other batsmen crossed the 250-run mark.
season verdict
A good season but the trophy didn’t deter them. This season also helped Rishabh Pant to declare himself as a leadership figure and a responsible batsman.
