IPL: Top 3 highest successful chases at Arun Jaitley Stadium 

The Arun Jaitley Stadium was formerly known as the Feroz Shah Kotla. This is the home venue for the Delhi Capitals. The ground has seen some great matches which were held over the years in the IPL. The ground at Delhi is traditionally not a high scoring pitch. Batting has not been the easiest. But there have been some high scores made out here. 

The Delhi Capitals have not won an IPL Trophy. They made it to the semi-finals in 2008 when the inaugural IPL season was held. Then in 2019 under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer they made it to the final only to be beaten by Mumbai Indians. Delhi have not had a good IPL season so far on 2023.
