Delhi Capitals DC
Formerly Delhi Daredevils (until 2018)
Every Delhi Capitals record in one place — the all-time marks, the Orange and Purple Caps, the top performers, and the biggest wins. 121 Player of the Match awards have gone to DC players.
DC record highs and lows from 2008 to 2025
Eight all-time records — the club's biggest win and heaviest defeat, its highest total and highest chase, the lowest it has defended and its lowest total, and the highest and lowest it has conceded.
Low-score records count only innings that ended naturally — bowled out, however few the overs, or the full 20 batted. An innings cut short by rain, or ended by reaching the target, is not a low score.
DC Player of the Tournament
No Player of the Tournament for DC
No Delhi Capitals player has ever been named Player of the Tournament, the award that goes each season to the IPL's outstanding performer. Their players have led the run or wicket charts twice over that time. They reached the final in 2020 without the season award.
