For long, there has been a lament, Delhi Capitals have lacked a solid fan base, when compared with teams like Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.

Delhi Capitals' plan to target Kolkata Knight Riders' two main spinners backfired. They lost by 14 runs in Match 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. It was their fourth defeat in 10 matches, and they remained in fourth position in the points table.

Chasing the total, DC were 62 for 3 in seven overs, but Faf du Plessis (62) and Axar Patel (43) kept them in the hunt with a 76-run partnership for the fourth wicket
