Delhi's skipper Shreyas Iyer

It's not an ideal situation to groom a young captain with the team languishing at the bottom of the points table and with the regular skipper, Gautam Gambhir having thrown in the towel. But the good thing for new leader Shreyas Iyer is that Delhi can only improve from here if they can get their act together. Though it may be difficult for them to make the playoffs, they can still make the season worthwhile. It is obvious that Iyer, 23, would be quite nervous after being thrown into the deep end and it is for him to swim or drown with the team.
