Delhi Capitals Eye Ownership Shake-Up After IPL 2026 Struggles
Is it time for a major shift as GMR looks to change the game plan?
Hold onto your hats, Delhi Capitals fans! After a dismal performance in IPL 2026, where they’ve lost six out of ten matches, the pressure is mounting not just on the players but on the franchise owners too. With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, it seems the GMR and Jindal groups are set for a serious rethink on how they run this beleaguered franchise.
Currently, the Capitals operate under a two-year ownership rotation between GMR and the Jindal Group. However, whispers are circulating that GMR wants to extend this cycle to three years, hoping to inject some stability and direction into a team that’s been floundering. Remember, while GMR has struggled, the Jindal-led phase saw multiple playoff appearances. Coincidence? Maybe not.
As the IPL mega auction looms, a longer ownership stint could allow one group to build a cohesive team without the constant upheaval. It’s a risky but necessary move, especially after that painful 8-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings. Meanwhile, coach Hemang Badani is rallying around Kuldeep Yadav, whose form has been a major concern this season. Can he turn things around and help the Capitals salvage some pride?
Stay tuned, because the off-field drama is just heating up as the season winds down.
