Delhi Capitals had an excellent outing last season which was also their debut IPL season as well. The team led by youngster Shreyas Iyer finished third after losing to the eventual runners-up Chennai Super Kings in the playoffs. This time, they would look to finish as winners. The IPL 2020 has been postponed from March 29 to April 15 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 that has spread all over the world.
Meanwhile, the Capitals were recently involved in a social media banter along with Rajasthan Royals and they ended up trolling one of Royals' star players Ben Stokes.
