The Capitals played their first match in the first season of the IPL against the Rajasthan Royals.[2] The Capitals reached the IPL playoffs three times, and have topped the group stage table twice.[3][4][5] Their performances in the competition have resulted in their qualification for the 2009 and 2012 Champions League Twenty20,[2][6] in which they reached the semi-finals on the second occasion.[7] In total, 108 players have played for the Capitals,[8] of whom Virender Sehwag has played the most matches: 86 since his debut for the franchise in 2008.[1]
The leading run-scorer for the Capitals is Sehwag with 2,382 runs.[9] Rishabh Pant's innings of 128 not out against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 is the highest individual score in an innings by a Capitals batsman.[10] David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan both have scored two centuries each for the Capitals,[10] whereas Sehwag, AB de Villiers, Kevin Pietersen, Quinton de Kock, Sanju Samson, and Pant have scored one each.[10] JP Duminy has the team's best batting average: 44.13.[11][α] Among Capitals's bowlers, Amit Mishra has taken more wickets than any other, with 90.[12] The best bowling average is Doug Bracewell's 10.66, though among bowlers who have bowled more than 20 overs, Farveez Maharoof has the best average with 19.25.[13] Mishra has the best bowling figures in an innings: he got a five wicket haul against the Deccan Chargers in a 2008 match, while conceding only 17 runs.[14] Dinesh Karthik has taken the most catches as wicket-keeper for the Capitals,[15] with 30, while also making the most stumpings: 15.[15] Sehwag has claimed the highest number of catches among fielders, taking 30.[16]
