Delhi capitals, previously the delhi daredevils, have more often than not got it wrong at the auction table and hence, most of the seasons, they fail to Qualify for the Play-FOFS.
This year, the start had surprised one and all. At the halfway stage, they in pole position winning five of their first six games but everything will have with one magical delivery from Mitchell Santner that square that square and dc lost the plot.
The biggest factor for dc would be losing four out of their five home games at fer feroz shah kotla, a track which wouldn’t be deciphered properly by the All-India Coaching Staff of Venu, Badani and Munaf.
The Trio was the support staff that guided dubai capitals to its maiden ult20 Title but removing ricky ponting (whose pbks team has licked one of the best so far) Management.
If one uses football parlance, the coaches fit for ‘championship’ (English second division) was given charge of an elite premiership side. Handling an ult20 team is very different from managing an ipl team.
The troika had no clue as to what kind of combination works at kotla. Not that they had too many options to manoeuvre and beyond five foreigners, one being an out of form jake fraser mcGurk, they Didnys Ph.

The biggest disappointment is surely skipper axar patel and his bowling form nosedived considerably in this edition.
Five Wickets from 12 Games and Unfortunately Not Being available on a wankhede track where Mitchell santner worked his magic did not help his cause.
