They have won one and lost the other in the couple of matches played in the tournament as of now. Delhi Capitals look really strong on paper and are a major contender to win the IPL trophy this season. Things haven’t changed much despite the fact that Pant is leading the side instead of Iyer who’s been ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury.

Delhi Capitals look really strong on paper with match-winners in both departments. The problem for them is how they are going to shape up the batting lineup. There are too many contenders for the top order, Marcus Stonis and Ajinkya Rahane would love to bat at the top of the order and so would the captain himself. 

The death bowling was quite poor in both the games which resulted in at least 15 more runs in the first match and the loss in the other. Kagiso Rabada has looked good as of now and he would be desperately wanting his South African mate Anrich Nortje back. If Delhi Capitals can solve these issues early on, there’s no doubt that they will be standing somewhere around the top of the table.
