Delhi Capitals after their revamp have been quite impressive, making it to the playoffs a number of times. However, the franchise failed to make it to the playoffs in the last season as they finished 5th on the points table. 

Delhi Capitals were quite picky in the IPL 2023 mini-auction, as they acquired 5 players. However, 4 out of these players were sold in crores, with Indian pacer Mukesh Kumar (5.5 crores INR) being their most expensive buy. The franchise also acquired Indian pacer Ishant Sharma at a base price of 50 lakhs INR.
