The world's biggest and best T20 league, the Indian Premier League is around the corner. The 2018 season will be the 11th season of IPL and will be held from 7 April to 27 May 2018.
Delhi Daredevils or DD has been the most disappointing team of Indian Premier League for the past 5-6 years. Since 2010 they have finished at the bottom of the table thrice (2011, 2013 & 2014) and haven't qualified for playoffs since 2012. However, they can hope to do so this time around with Gautam Gambhir coming back to the team after a span of 6 years, as captain.
Here is a look at Delhi Daredevils's history :
Semifinalists - 3 Times (2008, 2009 & 2012 )
