Initially, GMR Group won the Delhi franchise bid and named this team Delhi Daredevils (DD). In March 2018, Parth Jindal-owned JSW Sports bought 50% of the shares of this team. Before the IPL 2019, Delhi Daredevils were renamed as their present name Delhi Capitals (DC).

Jindal family is very enthusiastic cricket fans. While the delayed IPL 2020 was shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to COVID-19 pandemic, some Jindal family members were present in the venues to support their team.
