Top three players in the history of all IPL teams

8. DC- Virender Sehwag, Amit Mishra & Shreyas Iyer

Well, initially there was a time when the Delhi franchise was termed to be the best-equipped team amongst all in the IPL. In their first three seasons, the Daredevils had colossal names like Sehwag, Gambhir, AB de Villiers, and David Warner. Even in the bowling department, sturdy pacers like Morne Morkel and Ashish Nehra used to easily bag wins.

However, their first-ever captain Virender Sehwag was certainly the poster boy and the best player during DC’s formative days. Despite parting ways from the franchise since 2013, Viru is still the second-highest aggregator. From his stellar 86 appearances, Sehwag has smashed 2382 runs at an average of 29.77.

Perhaps in the bowling department, DC has always been blessed to hold on to the reliable services of Amit Mishra even till today. By picking the maximum number of wickets and hat-tricks, the veteran leg-spinner is only the player to feature in more than 100 games. In fact, from his 103 appearances, Mishra has scalped 110 wickets at an exceptional economy of 7.37.

But in the current times, the Delhi franchise is now a top giant of the IPL. By infusing the young spirits of local players from 2015, DC has had remarkable Indian players like Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. However, someone like Shreyas Iyer in particular has been the modern mastermind of the team. From turning their fortunes since IPL 2018 till now becoming the third-highest scorer, Iyer has played for more than six seasons. Overall from his 87 appearances, the former DC captain has scored 2375 runs at an average of 31.66.
