Dream11 IPL 2020: Delhi creates all-round Dream11 IPL points table record

The outcome of the Delhi vs Bangalore match means that the Delhi franchise finished at No. 2 on the Dream11 IPL points table for the first time in tournament’s history. They have now completed a unique journey of finishing the league stage at every position since the inception of the tournament back in 2008. By finishing on each of the ten positions on the points table, Delhi became the first side in Dream11 IPL history to do so.

Delhi was one of the original eight franchises that kickstarted the tournament in 2008. Under the leadership of Virender Sehwag, they finished at No. 4 in 2008 and No. 1 the following year in South Africa. Even though they have finished on the top four on four occasions (excluding the ongoing one), they are yet to lift the coveted title. Here is a look at Delhi’s entire Dream11 IPL points table journey throughout all seasons.
