The club in the book
Delhi Capitals — Delhi Daredevils until the 2019 rebrand — are the great unfulfilled franchise of Indian T20 history: no title, one final (2020), and yet a draft shelf with some of the best individual seasons anywhere in the game. Kagiso Rabada's 2020 — 30 wickets at 6.2 Cr — is the highest-rated Delhi season in the book and among the top bowling years the game has ever rated.
The batting peak is younger and louder: Rishabh Pant's 2018, 684 runs at a strike rate of 174 as a 20-year-old keeper, still one of the most valuable wicketkeeper seasons in the pool at 12.5 Cr. The supporting cast rewards a careful eye — Morne Morkel's 25-wicket 2012, Avesh Khan's 24 wickets in 2021 for a single crore, and JP Duminy's 2015 all-round year at 0.20 Cr. The 2020 finalists are the deepest Delhi season on the shelf.
