The '''Delhi cricket team''' is a [[First-class cricket|first-class]] [[cricket]] team based in [[Delhi]], run by the [[Delhi & District Cricket Association]], that plays in [[India]]'s first class competition, the [[Ranji Trophy]] and [[Limited overs cricket|limited-overs]] [[Vijay Hazare Trophy]] and [[Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy]]. They have won the Ranji Trophy seven times and have been runners-up eight. Their latest title in 2007-08 came after a long wait of 16 years. The previous win was in the 1991–92 season when they beat [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]] in the final. The team's home ground is [[Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium]].

==Competition history==
Delhi have made a strong performance in the Ranji Trophy throughout its history. Three of its five wins came in the 1980s and the remainder were in the late 1970s, a period marked by the dominance of a famous [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai team]]. This formed a golden period for Delhi between 1978 and 1987: it was in the finals for all but one of those years (winning 4, runner-up in 4).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sportspundit.com/cricket/teams/1714-delhi-cricket-team |title= Delhi Cricket Team}}</ref>

Its six appearances in the [[Irani Trophy]] showed mixed results, losing to the [[Rest of India cricket team|Rest of India]] side four times and winning twice.

They have only two titles in limited overs cricket. They won the [[Vijay Hazare Trophy]] in 2012-13 under [[Rajat Bhatia]]. They won the [[Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy]] under [[Pradeep Sangwan]]
