Delhi Daredevils CEO Disappointed By Poor Showing

Written by Rohit Pawar

After Delhi Daredevils once again failed to reach the Indian Premier League (IPL) play-offs, the capital franchise’s CEO Hemant Dua on Sunday expressed disappointment and blamed injuries to key players for the team’s poor show. The Shreyas Iyer-led side suffered their ninth loss in 12 games on Saturday, which also shattered their hopes of advancing to the next stage of the IPL.

In a series of tweets, the CEO said: “It’s been another tough year and yes we have failed again in front of you #DD fans! I have read all your tweets and we are as disappointed as you all are! I know you might not believe but that’s the truth.”

“We all want to win and no one wants it more desperately than all of us here at @DelhiDaredevils … we have hired the best coaches and bought players which are the best and most of you agreed post auction,” he added.

The last time Delhi managed to reach the play-offs was in 2012. Delhi have never won the IPL title, having reached the semi-finals in 2008 and 2009. Delhi will now look to salvage pride when they host Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians on May 18 and 20.
