#DelhiCapitals

New Name..

Is it?

Delhi is already the capital!

— Vidz (@vidzyvibes) December 4, 2018

These North Indians are so loud they changed their team’s name to #DELHICAPITALS

— Yash Shanbhag (@yallahabb) December 4, 2018

By changing name from Delhi Daredevils to #delhicapitals it won’t have any effects on the game play. But selecting good team and playing better combinations along with a strong captain will do.
