Delhi Daredevils were one of the first eight teams in the IPL. The Daredevils played from 2008 to 2018 before the team owners rebranded the franchise as the Capitals. Neither Daredevils nor Capitals have won the IPL trophy.
Although the Daredevils never won the championship, they qualified for the playoffs multiple times and had strong squads in almost every season. DD signed some talented players, who went on to win titles with other teams. Here’s a list of five such names.
1. Former Delhi Daredevils captain Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir was the skipper of DD for a few games. Gambhir could not win the trophy in Delhi but he moved to KKR in 2011 and lifted the championship as skipper in 2012 and 2014.
2. Former Delhi Daredevils all-rounder Andre Russell
Another player who left DD and then won IPL with KKR is Andre Russell. The Caribbean star did not get enough chances at DD. In 2014, he moved to KKR and won his first title.
3. Rajat Bhatia
One more former DD all-rounder to lift the trophy with KKR was Rajat Bhatia. The uncapped Indian bowling all-rounder would trouble the batters with his change of pace.
4. Shikhar Dhawan
Opener Shikhar Dhawan started his IPL career with DD in 2008. He then moved to Deccan Chargers and finally lifted the IPL trophy while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016.
5. Yuvraj Singh
Yuvraj Singh played just one season for DD in 2015. After that, he moved to the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 and lifted his first IPL championship with SRH.
