NEW DELHI: The Delhi Premier League (DPL) T20 announced Friday that Adani Group has come on board as the title sponsor for the inaugural season of the T20 cricket league.
In recent years, the Adani Group’s sports wing, Adani Sportsline, has made significant progress in Indian sport, with investments in the WPL with their franchise Gujarat Giants, the Pro Kabaddi League and the Ultimate Kho Kho League. Adani Sportsline also supports multiple athletes in India, including chess ace R Praggnanandhaa.
The Delhi Premier League T20, organized by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), is set to become a landmark event in the cricketing calendar, providing a platform for emerging talent while delivering top-tier cricket entertainment.

Their support is a testament to the league’s potential and our shared commitment to fostering the growth of cricket in Delhi. With the Adani Group’s involvement, we are confident that the DPL will set new benchmarks in sports excellence and fan engagement.”
As title sponsor, the Adani Group will play an integral role in shaping the league’s identity, with the DPL T20 set to be officially branded as the “Adani Delhi Premier League T20.”
