Delhi Capitals the Unluckiest Team in Cricket?

By TeluguFunda / February 6, 2026

There are a few teams in world cricket that carry the tag of being “cursed.” South Africa is often cited as the prime example brilliant throughout tournaments, only to falter at the final hurdle in ICC events. Now, a similar narrative seems to be unfolding in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), and the team at the center of it is Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals’ journey in the WPL has been nothing short of extraordinary and heartbreaking. The franchise has reached the final in every single edition of the tournament so far, a feat no other team has managed. Four seasons, four finals, and unmatched consistency across league stages.

However, the cruel twist lies in what follows next.

Despite dominating the tournament and proving their quality time and again, Delhi Capitals have lost all four WPL finals they have played. Their defeats include two losses against Mumbai Indians and two against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, leaving them still searching for their maiden title.

What makes this record even more astonishing is that no other team in modern cricket has reached the final four consecutive times and walked away empty-handed on each occasion. Delhi Capitals have shown remarkable stability, depth, and performance throughout the season, but the one match that truly matters the final has continued to slip away from them.

While their consistency deserves praise, the inability to cross the final hurdle has turned Delhi Capitals into one of the most unfortunate teams in contemporary cricket. As another season ends in disappointment, the big question remains: will Delhi finally break the jinx, or will the curse continue?
