My first observation is that the subject of the article requires bolding on first reference to it. Here are a number of issues that I thing need to be fixed before this can become a GA:


 * "is a part of the"... Should really be something like "who play in the..."
 * "it topped the league", A bit slang-y maybe something like "they came top of the league"
 * I feel that the current one is better.


 * " it failed to win any match", don't you mean "They failed to win any matches"?
 * Didn't get you.


 * Should say "added players such as...."
 * All reference to the club should be as "they" rather than "it" or simply Delhi
 * I have taken DD as singular in the whole article. I believe that its a better option as the whole article needs to be consistent.


 * Skipper is slang, it should really say captain or club captain
 * Its a highly used term in cricket.


 * Use US$ for the first reference to the money, then use $ as it's a bit cumbersome to keep using US$ when it's clear it is in American dollars.
 * Reference to the money should be in numbers rather than words if the figure is under a million. (ie. $450,000 and $50,000)
 * "leaving out.." should be clarified
 * finished in third place, not "finished at the third position"
 * Just need to say that "they won by..." (and vice versa), no need for extra "it"
 * "battle of the heavyweights is WP:POV and should be removed.
 * That has been quoted, so I don't think it comes under POV.


 * "claiming the most number o wickets", don't think I need to specify what is wrong with that.
 * In the Warriors pic, the description should say The Daredevil's playing against.
 * Should be a comma before Titans
 * In the Reaction section, $ should be delinked and for INR lakh should be linked
 * It already done.


 * The IPL logo should be removed from being next to the IPL portal.
 * This is how the template works. And btw this logo is not copyrighted.


 * Is the picture of KP really necessary as it's referring to the previous season?


 * That being said, the other pics are fine. Just need to fix these issues and I'll have another look.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 18:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As per the Wikicup, I am obliged to say that I am also competing in it too.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 18:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

 * There's still inconsistency with the prices (example: "$50 thousand").  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 17:50, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * All dne then. A new GA.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
