Franchise history
During the franchise auction for the Indian Premier League teams, the GMR Group purchased the Delhi Daredevils for $84 million.
2009 IPL season
The Daredevils dominated for much of the 2009 IPL, finishing at the top of the table after the league stages despite a mid-tournament injury to icon and captain Virender Sehwag . A.B. de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan both had developed greatly since the last season and set up many large totals for the Daredevils, with deVilliers hitting one of only two centuries in the 2009 IPL. The bowling, which in 2008 was composed mainly of overseas players (Maharoof, Vettori, McGrath, Asif) was bolstered by a trade to gain former Team India paceman Ashish Nehra in exchange for Shikhar Dhawan. Pradeep Sangwan and Amit Mishra had both improved since last season, and the offseason signing of Dirk Nannes from Australia created a bowling lineup that was strong. In fact, the Daredevils left Vettori, Collingwood and McGrath on the bench for most of the tournament, preferring to go with the overseas combination of Nannes, de Villers, Dilshan and David Warner.
However, despite dominating for the regular season, the Daredevils crumbled in the semi-final under a fierce batting assault by Adam Gilchrist, who hit the fastest fifty in IPL history (just 17 balls). Nannes in particular, who was again picked over McGrath, was punished by Gilchrist and later Andrew Symonds. The disappointing semifinal meant Delhi did not contest the final of the 2009 IPL despite having the best record in the league stages. However, Delhi managed to qualify for champions league twenty20 because of their performance in group stage.
On 22 May 2009, the Daredevils entered a partnership with Eastern Titans of the South African domestic cricket competition to help develop young talent on both teams.[2]
Iconic Australian pace bowler Glenn McGrath has expressed disappointment that he was not picked to play any match during the whole season, and has placed a question mark over his participation in the IPL 2010 with the Daredevils.[3]
Home Ground
The Daredevils play their home matches in the Feroz Shah Kotla ground located in New Delhi, under the newly installed floodlights.
Brand Ambassador
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was the brand ambassador of the team during the 2008 Season but opted not to return for the 2009 season due to a busy schedule. However, Akshay was seen at a few of the team's games cheering them on.
Famous Bollywood playback singer Kailash Kher has sung the team anthem - "Khel Front Foot Pe" a.k.a. " Play on the front foot or play aggressively". It is played at every Delhi Daredevils match.
Players
Virender Sehwag has been accorded the icon player status in the Delhi Daredevils team and was also the captain of the side during the first two seasons. However, he resigned and passed on the leadership to his opening partner Gautam Gambhir for the 2010 season.But after Gautam Gambhir left the team for Kolkata Knightriders in the fourth edition,Sehwag was once again given the duty to captain the team. Since the start of the IPL in 2008 many international players such as Glenn Mcgrath, AB de Villiers, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Paul Collingwood, David Warner , Andrew McDonald, Daniel Vettori, Farveez Maharoof , Dirk Nannes, Aaron Finch and Morne Morkel have donned the cap for the daredevils.
The team also includes Indian players like Dinesh Karthik, Amit Mishra and Vijaykumar Yomahesh.
