Delhi Daredevils started their journey in Indian Premier League on a good note and performed well in first wo seasons.

The team has been criticized for its poor performance and the franchise reconstructed the whole squad in 2014 but still did not get any result in their favour. They are still looking for their first title and for making this possible in this season IPL 2016, DD franchise has included Rahul Dravid into the team as mentor and Zaheer Khan is named as the captain for the side. Delhi franchise has also taken a strong step by buying an uncapped player Pawan Negi for Rs 8.5 crores, making him the second costliest player of this year after Shane Watson.
On contrary to DD, Kolkata Knight Riders initial three seasons were bad in terms of their performance as they could not move further the league stage and ended at bottom three position of the points table. After facing a lot of criticism, KKR showed improvement from the 4th year and they qualified for the play off stage for the first time and in 2012 the team bagged their first tittle and became champion. They also won 2014 title and became one of the three teams to win twice, other two are Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. For IPL 9, Gautam Gambhir has been declared as the captain of the Kolkata side.
