Background

The Delhi Daredevils is a franchise cricket team based in Delhi, India which plays in the IPL. [7] It is owned by the GMR Group, which bought it for US$ 84 million. [7] It reached the IPL playoffs in the 2008 and the 2009 seasons, while topping the league stage in 2009. [8] [9] It had a "shocking performance" in the 2011 season, finishing at the last position. [10] In the 2012 IPL auction, the team purchased Mahela Jayawardene for $1.4 million, [10] Andre Russell for $450,000 and Doug Bracewell for $50,000. [11] It got Kevin Pietersen and Ross Taylor from the Deccan Chargers and the Rajasthan Royals respectively in a transfer window, and it gave Andrew McDonald to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. [12] [13] It also released Ashok Dinda and James Hopes to the Pune Warriors India. [14] It signed Pawan Negi, Manpreet Juneja and Kuldeep Raval, dropping out Robert Frylinck, Sridharan Sriram, Vivek Yadav, Rajesh Pawar and Matthew Wade. [15] [16] Glenn Maxwell and Gulam Bodi were signed as the replacements for withdrawn players Travis Birt and Colin Ingram. [17] [18]

Before the season, Daredevils' head coach Greg Shipperd was replaced by Eric Simons, who was the previous assistant coach of the team and the then bowling coach of the India. [19] T. A. Sekhar became the team mentor for the second time, after working with the Mumbai Indians in the previous two seasons. [19] The theme song was also changed from Khelo Front Foot pe to Munday Dilli ke . [20] [21]

In her preview of the Daredevils for ESPNcricinfo, Sharda Ugra termed the buying of Pietersen and Jayawardene as the "repair work for the new season."

The Daredevils finished in third place in the 2012 IPL, which was "another season of dominance at the league stage ended without a win in the playoffs." [24] After a disappointing season in 2011, the 2012 IPL saw a return of the Daredevils to being one of the more consistent IPL teams. [5] Ugra said that despite having Virender Sehwag and David Warner as the openers, bowler Morné Morkel was the key player in the tournament, and Umesh Yadav was a nice assistant for him. [5] Shahbaz Nadeem acted as a "tidy option" for a team which lacked spinners. [5] Venugopal Rao, brought for $700,000, was termed as a "flop buy" by Ugra. Rao made 122 runs in ten matches, and had a strike-rate lower than 104. [5] The team was captained by Sehwag, [18] with Jayawardene acting as the stand-in captain in two matches. [25]

The Daredevils topped the points table in the league stage, in which they won 11 out of 16 matches. They played its first match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, and won by eight wickets. [26] This was followed by a 20-run loss against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. [27] It won its next match against the Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets, [28] and then in the "battle of the heavyweights", aggressive bowling by the Daredevils earned it a win against the Mumbai Indians. [29] In the match against the Deccan Chargers, it got a five-wickets victory, and Pietersen played a 103-run innings. [30] This was followed by two matches against the Pune Warriors India; it lost the first by 20 runs, and won the second by eight wickets. [27] Their next match against Mumbai saw a 37-run victory for the squad. [31] Then in the match against the Rajasthan Royals, Morkel's "sensational penultimate over" gave the Daredevils a one-run victory, and also saw Sehwag becoming the only player to make four consecutive half-centuries in the IPL. [32] The team's next fixture was also against the Royals, which was a six-wicket win. [27] Sehwag scored 73 runs from 38 balls, [33] extending his record to five consecutive fifties. [34] In the "clash between the two most impressive teams in the tournament," the Knight Riders beat the Daredevils by six wickets. [35] This caused the Daredevils to lose the top spot in the points table, a position it had held "virtually from the start of the tournament". [35] In its next game, a ton by David Warner and a half-century by Naman Ojha led the team to a nine wickets win, and it regained the top spot. [36] Then "came a cropper on a lively pitch", as the Daredevils lost to the Super Kings by nine wickets. [37] It became the first team to get into the playoffs when it registered a five wickets win against the Kings XI Punjab. [38] Against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, it faced a 204-runs partnership between Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, the second best in Twenty20, and lost the match by 21 runs. [39] It finished its league stage campaign with a six wickets win over the Kings XI. [27]

The Daredevils played the first qualifier against the Knight Riders. [40] The winner of this match qualified for the final, whereas the loser got another chance to get to it. [40] The Knight Riders scored 162 runs for four wickets, 56 of which came in the last four overs. [41] Irfan Pathan, Yadav and Negi each got one wicket, whereas Varun Aaron conceded 48 runs in four overs. [42] Chasing the total, the Daredevils lost its openers Warner and Sehwag at seven and ten runs respectively. [42] Ojha made 28 runs, whereas Rao scored 13 runs off 22 balls. [42] Some economical overs and Rao's struggle forced Jayawardene to attack, which eventually resulted in him getting out at 40. [41] When the team required 55 runs off 32 balls, Negi was sent in before Taylor. Taylor later hit a six on the third ball he faced from Sunil Narine, "but it was too late by then." [41] The Daredevils managed to score 144 runs for eight wickets, losing the match by 18 runs. [42] In the second qualifier against the Super Kings, [24] Morkel was benched, a decision which made a "significant difference". [43] "Virtually unknown offspinner" Sunny Gupta made his IPL debut in the match, and this was "one of the biggest tactical goof-ups in IPL history." [24] Murali Vijay scored a century for the Super Kings, and it reached to a total of 222. [44] Gupta conceded 47 runs in his three overs; Aaron gave 63 in his four overs: the least economical bowling figure in IPL. [24] The match also saw, for the first time in the season, Sehwag not opening for the Daredevils. [24] Warner went for three runs, whereas Sehwag scored one run off six balls. [44] Jayawardene made a half-century, and Taylor made 24 runs. Wickets felt at regular intervals, and the Daredevils eventually got all out at 136 runs, [44] registering the biggest loss of the season. [45] After the match, coach Simons clarified that Morkel was dropped to an allrounder in the form of Russell. [46] Morkel was later awarded the Purple cap for claiming the most number of wickets in the tournament., [47] for claiming the most wickets in the tournament: 25. [48]

Sehwag, who gave up the captaincy prior to the CLT20, was initially doubtful for the tournament due to injury.

By finishing third in the IPL, the Daredevils qualified for the 2012 CLT20. [51] Before the tournament, Morkel decided to play for the Daredevils and not for his home team the Titans. [52] The franchise changed the team captain to Jayawardene as per the suggestion of Sehwag, who wanted to be "relieved of the responsibility" in order to "bat freely". [53] Aavishkar Salvi came in as a replacement for Aaron, who was going to go through tonsillectomy. [53] Sehwag strained a ligament during the 2012 ICC World Twenty20, due to which he was initially doubtful for the CLT20; however he recovered from the injury and played in the tournament. [54] In his preview for ESPNcricinfo, Sidharth Monga said that the team had "some of the best names Twenty20 cricket can throw up." [55] He termed Morkel as the key player and Unmukt Chand as the "surprise package". [55] However, he said that the team's failure in big-matches and lack of spinners were its weaknesses. [55] The team had a practice match with the Sydney Sixers, which it lost by 5 wickets. [56]

Directly qualifying to the group stage, [57] two of the four group matches of the Daredevils were abandoned due to rain. [58] It played its first match with the Knight Riders, and won it by 52 runs. The Daredevils' innings ended at 160 runs for eight wickets, and Chand emerged as the top-scorer with 40 runs. [59] In response, the Knight Riders got all out for 108 runs; Yadav, Ajit Agarkar and Morkel took two wickets each. [59] The match against the Auckland Aces was abandoned due to rain. [58] Playing against the Perth Scorchers, the Daredevils restricted its opponent to 121 runs, "a score which is rarely defended in Twenty20 cricket." [60] Morkel took three wickets for 19 runs, and the team's "four-pronged pace attack was at its best." [60] Chasing the total, only Sehwag, who made 52 runs, could reach the double figures among the top order. [61] However Agarkar's 11 runs from seven balls helped the team eventually win the match. [60] [61] For the last league match against the Titans, Jayawardene was replaced by Warner and Taylor was appointed as the captain. [6] However the match was abandoned due to rain. [6] In the semi-final, the Daredevils played against the Highveld Lions. [62] It again rested Jayawardene to make space for Warner. [63] The bowlers restricted Lions to 139 runs; Yadav took two wickets conceding 20 runs. [63] Batting second, the Daredevils lost its openers early, and no other specialist batsman, except Pietersen, was able to reach a double figure. [64] Pietersen scored a half-century, while Morkel remained not out at 18 runs. [64] The team managed to score 117 run for nine wickets and lost the match by 22 runs. [64] After the match, Taylor cited that the team's fielding was one of the reasons for the loss. [65]
