New Delhi, March 19 – Delhi Capitals have unveiled their new jersey ahead of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is scheduled to begin on March 28, 2026.
The Capitals have retained their iconic red and blue colors, but the central pattern has been changed. It now features blue and red stripes running from top to bottom. According to the franchise, the design is inspired by the fierce tiger spirit that defines both the team and the city it represents.
In a video released by the franchise on Thursday, Delhi Capitals women's team captain Jemimah Rodrigues joined forces with men's team skipper Axar Patel to unveil the new jersey. The video captures the spirit of the city and also features middle-order batter Nitish Rana, who was added to the squad in the 2026 IPL auction.
Speaking on the occasion, Delhi Capitals CEO Sunil Gupta said, "This jersey celebrates our city, identity, and the fearless mindset we bring to the field."
"In a first for an IPL jersey launch campaign, we are also proud to feature our Women’s team captain, Jemimah Rodrigues, as it reflects our commitment to building a unified Delhi Capitals culture across teams. Our Tigers in blue and red are ready, and we are looking forward to an exciting season ahead," he added.
With India's T20 World Cup 2026 champion Axar Patel as the leader, the Delhi Capitals team also features experienced Indian players like KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav, along with Australia's premier bowler Mitchell Starc, who would provide a tough challenge to the opposition.
Delhi Capitals narrowly missed a playoff berth in the previous season. They finished in 5th position with seven wins in 14 matches. They have never won an IPL trophy, and the team will aim to achieve this in the 19th season.
According to the 20-match schedule released by the BCCI, Delhi Capitals will kick off their campaign against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 1.
