New Delhi, Mar 25 DP World, the smart end-to-end logistics, has become the global logistics partner of the popular cricket franchise ‘Delhi Capitals’.
“The new multi-year partnership will see DP World featured prominently on the back of Delhi Capitals official match jerseys as well as training gear,” an official statement said.
“The partnership extends beyond logistics to a shared vision of high-performance premised on innovation. This vision also resonates well with the Indian capital, New Delhi, a multi-cultural city and a global hub, that like DP World, connects across borders,” it said.
Rizwan Soomar, CEO & MD India Subcontinent & Sub-Saharan Africa, DP World, said, “Over the years, cricket has transformed itself, with ever evolving formats unlocking enormous potential for players across the world and making the game engaging and exciting for a diverse set of audiences. Similarly, DP World is relentlessly focused on innovation, constantly seeking out new opportunities to revolutionise global trade and open opportunities for our customers to grow. We are delighted to announce this partnership bringing together two leading organisations that are ready to go beyond conventional boundaries to change what’s possible for everyone.”
Speaking about the new partnership, Dhiraj Malhotra, CEO, Delhi Capitals said, “We are excited to sign a multi-year partnership with DP World. The organisation is a global leader in logistics and therefore it’s a huge privilege for us to have DP World as our Global Logistics Partner. The organisation has a strong global presence, and it will certainly help us grow the Delhi Capitals brand.”
“The 2022 T20 season was viewed by over 400 million fans across the globe, making it one of the largest sporting events in the world. Partnering with Delhi Capitals provides DP World with a vibrant platform to engage with customers, prospects, and stakeholders within India and beyond,” the statement further read.

The company is the title partner of the DP World ILT20 in the UAE, and the naming rights partner of the DP World Lions and the iconic DP World Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. The company also became the title partner of the DP World Asia Cup, that took place in the UAE in 2022,” it added.
