They lost their first eight games of IPL 2022. Before this, Delhi Daredevils (in 2013) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (in 2019) had six successive losses each from the start of the season.
Delhi Capitals (in 2014) and Deccan Chargers (in 2008) have the unfortunate record of losing the most matches in an IPL season. Both teams lost 12 matches in their respective seasons, managing to accumulate just four points. This is the lowest number of points accumulated by any team in an IPL season.
Delhi Capitals Need To Improve Game
The Delhi Capitals, formerly known as Delhi Daredevils, has always been an exciting team to watch. But they have struggled to perform consistently in the IPL. The team has appointed a new captain in the absence of Rishabh Pant. DC has a talented squad, including big names like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Anrich Nortje, but they have failed to deliver the desired results so far in the IPL 2023 season.
The Delhi Capitals will need to pull up their socks and bounce back quickly if they want to avoid creating an unwanted record for the most consecutive losses in IPL history. The team will have to find a way to improve their performances, be it with their batting, bowling, or fielding. The Delhi Capitals will also have to work on their team strategy and make changes where necessary to turn things around.
