Hopes changed teams and played for the Delhi Daredevils in the 2011 IPL.[17] He played well despite the team having a poor season, and when captain Virender Sehwag was injured he was chosen to replace him as interim captain for the final three games. Delhi lost two of those three matches and finished in last place.[18] He was transferred to the Pune Warriors for the 2012 IPL,[19] but had to pull out of the tournament due to a knee injury.[20]
