For Delhi, Sehwag amassed 2382 runs in 85 innings. Pant has now scored 2390 runs in 75 innings for the franchise, surpassing the former India opener’s record.
Shreyas Iyer, who led the Delhi Capitals for the previous two seasons, is third on the list with 2291 runs in 82 innings for the team, followed by experienced opener Shikhar Dhawan, who has hammered 1933 runs in only 58 innings.

Ravichandran Ashwin hits back at critics
Also during the match, Ravichandran Ashwin and Eoin Morgan had an argument. After a throw deflected off DC captain Rishabh Pant, Ashwin attempted to take a run. Eoin Morgan expressed his displeasure with Ashwin’s act and got into a heated argument with him.
Shane Warne slammed the veteran off-spinner after the incident, calling what Ravichandran Ashwin did “disgraceful”. The Tamil Nadu-born cricketer responded with a series of tweets where he explained that when he took the overthrow, he didn’t realise that the ball had bounced off Rishabh Pant’s body. However, even if he knew, he had the right to take the overthrow runs, stated Ashwin.
Ashwin said: “Did I fight? No, I stood up for myself and that’s what my teachers and parents taught me to do and pls teach your children to stand up for themselves. In Morgan or Southee’s world of cricket they can choose and stick to what they believe is right or wrong but do not have the right to take a moral high ground and use words that are derogatory.”
