With IPL 2026 just around the corner on March 28, Delhi Capitals have roared into the spotlight by launching their revamped jersey, signaling their intent to dominate.
Staying true to roots, the jersey sports the classic red and blue, but introduces a mesmerizing stripe fusion running vertically – a nod to the ferocious tiger that represents the team’s indomitable spirit and Delhi’s pulsating vibe.
Thursday’s launch video was a treat, showcasing a collaborative reveal by men’s captain Axar Patel and women’s skipper Jemimah Rodrigues. Middle-order maestro Nitish Rana, freshly bought in the IPL 2026 auction, lent his presence, hyping up the anticipation.
CEO Sunil Gupta captured the essence: ‘Our jersey mirrors the city we represent, our core identity, and the bold attitude we unleash on the pitch. Proudly featuring Jemimah Rodrigues in our IPL jersey campaign for the first time, this underscores our dedication to fostering a single, cohesive Delhi Capitals ethos. Blue and red Tigers are primed – the exciting season awaits!’
DC’s previous campaign ended in heartbreak, fifth on the table with seven victories in 14 games, still trophy-less. Axar Patel, hero of India’s 2026 T20 World Cup triumph, leads a formidable line-up including KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mitchell Starc.
The BCCI schedule confirms DC’s opener against Lucknow Super Giants on April 1 at Ekana Stadium. This jersey launch isn’t just apparel; it’s a battle cry for glory.
