Right from the beginning of the IPL in 2008, Delhi
Daredevils didn’t had a single tournament victory in their hand, but they still
qualified for Champions league twenty20 season 2009 and season 2012. Though in
the very beginning of the 2009 season Delhi Daredevils dominated in the league
under the Captaincy of Gautam Ghambhir but his captaincy didn’t worked when the
team crumbled in the semi finals because of the outstanding batting by Adam
Gilchrist of the opponent team.
