The Capitals have been a strong team in recent editions, but have failed to cross the final hurdle. Though in the previous edition, Delhi failed to make it to the playoffs by just a whisker. The Rishabh Pant-led side finished fifth in the 2022 edition of the glitzy league. Delhi Capitals finished fifth on the points table, winning seven and losing as many out of their fourteen league stage matches.

Delhi have retained their core team and on paper once again the Capitals have an enviable squad. Furthermore, the Capitals have once again continued their tradition of backing youngsters, as they have retained most of their young players, including the likes of Yash Dhull and Ripal Patel.
