Delhi Capitals have been one of the most unlucky teams in the Indian Premier League. They are one of the few teams that have been part of the league since the start of 2008 but haven’t won the title yet. One of the main reasons for this might be the team’s combination. DC largely invests in the batters and leaves a big gap in the bowling departments.
That is why most of the batters have done well against this team. A couple of batters have already scored 1000 or more runs against Delhi Capitals, and some are approaching this landmark. In this article, we will talk about the top batters who have scored the most runs against DC in the IPL so far. This list is mainly dominated by Indian batters.
