“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.
