Delhi Capitals: A Franchise Evolution
Delhi Capitals, formerly known as Delhi Daredevils until 2018, represents the national capital region of Delhi in the IPL. The franchise underwent a rebrand in December 2018 after JSW Sports acquired a 50% stake in the team. Since then, they’ve been working to build a stronger identity and connect with their fanbase.
The team had their best IPL season in 2020 when they reached the finals for the first time, ultimately losing to Mumbai Indians. While they haven’t yet claimed an IPL title, their consistent efforts to build a competitive team have won them a dedicated fanbase.
Currently co-owned by the GMR Group and JSW Sports, Delhi Capitals play their home matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla Ground). The venue holds special significance for the team, as evidenced by their recent post stating “Apne घर ki baat hi kuch alag hai! 🏟️🌇” (There’s something special about our home), celebrating their connection to their home ground.
The franchise has been working with global partners to expand their reach, as seen in a recent collaboration post mentioning “As the Global Logistics Partner of @delhicapitals, we’re daring to reimagine what’s possible by bringing the spirit of cricket to where it starts – the local communities that live and breathe the game.”
Connecting With The Community
Delhi Capitals’ emphasis on fan engagement extends beyond social media. The franchise has been actively building community connections, with players frequently interacting with supporters. One recent post captured this spirit with the caption “Game toh Capitals ka hi hai 💙💪” (The game belongs to the Capitals), showcasing the team’s confidence and connection with fans.
The emotional bond with supporters was highlighted in another post where a fan commented about meeting players after matches at Kotla (Arun Jaitley Stadium): “Kotla ke bhaar ghoomte the match ke baad ki koi mil jaye koi dikh jaye, uss chhote bache ko ye karne ko milra hai aur kya chaiye batao 🥹” – expressing how special it is for young fans to meet their cricket heroes.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, Delhi Capitals continue to recognize that their fans remain their greatest motivation. Their latest post simply reaffirms this relationship – fan love fuels their performance, creating a symbiotic relationship that transcends the boundaries of the cricket field.
