“We looked at the 2019 season as the first season for the Delhi Capitals; a fresh start on all counts. This did affect our sponsorship chances last year a bit, but we had some long-term partners like Daikin already on board. Given our performance last year, brands are showing keen interest. Despite the slowdown, we have managed to get up to a 25% increase in our sponsorship rates. We should be able to hit Rs 60 crore solely in sponsorship revenues this season,” Dhiraj Malhotra said who is a chief executive officer of Delhi Capitals.

“Ideally, we would like to have fewer sponsors at a premium so that the team and the brands can get the most from the association. Most of the partnerships we sign are for three years, with a few having the provision to extend for two more years,” he added.
