IPL 2020: How did DC fare?

Delhi Capitals reached the IPL 2020 final after a strong season. However, they were outplayed in the final by eventual champions Mumbai Indians, who won a fifth honor. However, DC impressed largely and several players stepped up in a campaign where they finished second in the league stage, collecting eight wins and six losses.

How do we rate them?

Last season’s finalists Delhi Capitals have the desired attributes to do well once again.

The side is filled with quality across all three departments.

The addition of Steve Smith and Sam Billings bring more character in the batting.

The pace-bowling sector gets the desired lift as well.

Chris Woakes, who missed out last season, could be helpful.

DC have powerful performers everywhere.
