Delhi Daredevils (Hindi: दिल्ली डेयरडेविल्स) is theDelhi franchise for the Indian Premier League. The franchise is owned by the GMR Group.

The Daredevils dominated for much of the 2009 IPL, finishing at the top of the table after the league stages despite a mid-tournament injury to icon and captain Virender Sehwag and the relatively poor form of Gautam Gambhir.

A.B. de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan both had developed greatly since the last season and set up many large totals for the Daredevils, with deVilliers hitting one of only two centuries in the 2009 IPL.

The bowling, which in 2008 was composed mainly of overseas players (Maharoof, Vettori, McGrath, Asif) was bolstered by a trade to gain former Team IndiapacemanAshish Nehra in exchange for Shikhar Dhawan. Pradeep Sangwan and Amit Mishra had both improved since last season,

and the offseason signing of Dirk Nannes from Australia created a bowling lineup that was strong. In fact, the Daredevils left Vettori, Collingwood and McGrath on the bench for most of the tournament, preferring to go with the overseas combination of Nannes, de Villers, Dilshan andDavid Warner.

However, despite dominating for the regular season, the Daredevils crumbled in the semi-final under a fierce batting assault by Adam Gilchrist, who hit the fastest fifty in IPL history (just 17 balls).

Nannes in particular, who was again picked over McGrath, was punished by Gilchrist and later Andrew Symonds. The disappointing semifinal meant Delhi did not contest the final of the 2009 IPL despite having the best record in the league stages.

However, Delhi managed to qualify for champions league twenty20 because of their performance in group stage.

On 22 May 2009, the Daredevils entered a partnership with Eastern Titans of the South African domestic cricket competition to help develop young talent on both teams.

Iconic Australian pace bowler Glenn McGrath has expressed disappointment that he was not picked to play any match during the whole season,

and has placed a question mark over his participation in the IPL 2010 with the Daredevils.
