Delhi Capitals Squad 2023 & Match Schedule
Delhi Capitals team is jointly owned by GMR Group and the JSW Group who are now going globally as they purchased teams in other leagues like SA20 & ILT20. The franchise has recently confirmed their Delhi Capitals squad 2023 for IPL 16. The team Delhi was previously known as Delhi Daredevils which was not a great branded name so they later changed it to Capitals which is more brandable and professional. In the last 15 editions of IPL, they did come close to winning the title a few times but were unable to achieve the glory which has been a significant disappointment for millions and millions of passionate Delhi fans.
Signing off with the Class of 2023 ✅

Delhi Capitals Full Squad 2023
Delhi Capitals team 2023 will certainly look to forget the poor last year’s performances and setbacks and have a fresh start to finally achieve the glory they have been searching for past 15 years. Rishabh Pant is announced as Delhi Capitals captain 2023 for TATA IPL 2023. Even after the poor show in the last season, management has kept their faith in the majority of the players which is why they retained 20 players from last year’s squad while picking 5 new fresh faces at the auction.

Spinners like Kuldeep Yadav & Axar Patel will also come in handy with their vast IPL & International experience they got.

Coaches of Delhi Capitals 2023
Team owners and tactical management of Delhi Capitals team 2023 have confirmed all the coaching staff for the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. There have not been many significant changes in the coaching panel from last year.
| Coach Title | Name |
| Head Coach | Ricky Ponting |
| Assistant Head Coach | Ajit Agarkar, Pravin Amre & Shane Watson |
| Fast Bowling Coach | James Hopes |
| Fielding Coach | Biju George |
| Physio | Patrick Farhart |
| Analyst | Sriram Somayajula |
| Strength and Conditioning Coach | Vivek Ramakrishna & Wayne Lombard |
Ricky Ponting as head coach and with Shane Watson as an assistant coach are surely two of the best cricketing minds to formulate the best possible strategy for Delhi to win their first ever IPL title. I believe Shane Watson will also act as a batting coach because of the vast T20 experience he got. The coaching panel of DC is good enough to manage Delhi Capitals squad 2023 effectively and with a clear and-cut strategy to win.
DC Overall IPL Wins
As mentioned earlier, DC has never won any IPL title so far but they have reached the playoffs stage six times but were unable to clinch the trophy. Rishabh Pant as a leader for DC is still in a learning phase and this will be the third time he will lead Delhi in IPL. Below is a breakdown of Delhi Capitals IPL performance every year.
| Year | Summary |
| 2008 | Semi-finalists |
| 2009 | Semi-finalists |
| 2010 | League stage |
| 2011 | League stage |
| 2012 | Playoffs |
| 2013 | League stage |
| 2014 | League stage |
| 2015 | League stage |
| 2016 | League stage |
| 2017 | League stage |
| 2018 | League stage |
| 2019 | Playoffs |
| 2020 | Runners up |
| 2021 | Playoffs |
| 2022 | League stage |
In 2018, Delhi decided to rope in Ricky Ponting as the head coach and under him they did play the final one time which they lost in 2020. Delhi team owners will surely want their team to repeat their efforts of IPL 2020 in the coming edition of IPL but this time with a trophy under their belt so they can finally join the CHAMPIONS group of IPL which is not that big, to be honest since Mumbai Indians won 5 times & Chennai Super Kings won 4 times.
