One of the rare teams to start with a mistake. The mistake of making Sehwag an icon player instead of choosing "Sehwag ki Maa" as the iconic figure. Despite this flaw, Delhi boasted of an extremely well balanced side consisting of strike batsman Gautam Gambhir and top class bowlers such as Glenn McGrath and Daniel Vettori. This balance though made it extremely difficult to pin the blame of repeated losses on any single player and post match team meetings soon degenerated into a series of brawls causing Gautam Gambir to lose his customary seriousness. They were also one of the first teams to declare bankruptcy as the team owners, GMR claimed that the fine print was too fine thus successfully obtaining tax breaks for the ridiculous Delhi airport.
