Delhi Daredevils have renamed their side to Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2018-19. They have been a part of the franchise league since inception, but have never reached the final. JSW Sports has bought 50% stakes in the franchise. Will a name change bring them luck this time? Only time will tell.

5 REASONS WHY DD ARE STRUGGLING IN THE IPL: Delhi Daredevils have never won the Indian Premier League. Let that alone, they've never made it to the finals of the IPL. The league has provided players not only an opportunity to rub shoulders with the cricketing greats but also has churned out some of the finest talents. The franchises do take pride in scouting talent but they'd like to add the coveted title to their cabinet. After 6 games, DD find themselves in familiar territory. Not something they'd be proud of & things really haven't worked for them as envisaged. Here, we discuss 5 reasons why DD are struggling in IPL 2018.

The bottom-placed Delhi take on the 4th placed KKR in the 26th fixture of the Indian Premier League. Gautam Gambhir has stepped down as Delhi's captain and the responsibility has been handed over to Shreyas Iyer. The left-hander hasn't had the best of starts to this season's IPL. A clear head, without the burden of captaincy, might fetch better results for Gambhir. New ideas, fresher approach and a stern learning. Iyer's maturity as a player will be tested. While it's a positive move, DD would like to win games and make it to the playoffs. The chances are slim but this is the IPL, where uncertainty is the norm. Delhi have managed only 2 points in 6 games and for a place in the top 4, they have to get their game plans spot on. DD vs KKR, it's redemption time for Delhi Daredevils.

After having played 4 games each, the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils find themselves in a familiar part of the table once again. The silver lining, though, is that there is still a long way to go! It is not just the losses, but also the manner of losses that have been strikingly similar for the two franchises.

The IPL moves to the North after an enthralling weekend of cricketing action. Two teams who've been on either end of the league table are all set to lock horns. Delhi Daredevils are struggling at the bottom of the table with only 2 points in 5 games, while Kings XI have been in dreamland ever since the mighty Jamaican was included in their squad. They are placed 2nd on the table, only decimals away from the southern kings. Two new skippers, two brilliant students of the game and 2 massive points at stake. Moreso, for Kings XI who this year are certain to make it to the playoffs. It's DD vs KXIP, match number 22 at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
