MUMBAI: As the excitement and anticipation surrounding the eleventh season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) builds up, express parcel service provider DTDC has announced its association as the official logistics partner with Delhi Daredevils (DD) team.

In its capacity, DTDC will deliver and oversee the entire back-end logistics operations for the team. The association leverages the brand with wider visibility in terms of its logo being visible on the lead trouser of the DD playing jersey.

Led by the ever-competitive Gautam Gambhir, and coached by Australian legend Ricky Ponting, this year’s DD squad comprises stalwarts such as Chris Morris, Glenn Maxwell, Amit Mishra, Naman Ojha, Colin Munro, apart from youngsters like Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and India’s young U-19 World Cup winning captain Prithvi Shaw.

DTDC executive director Abhishek Chakraborty says, “DTDC is looking forward to being a part of the Delhi Daredevils campaign as they look to end their silverware drought. The tournament is a celebration of the cricket-crazy spirit of Indians, and DTDC wanted to be a part of this celebration of the sport’s ultimate carnival. Furthermore, we aim to reach out to a wider customer base and strengthen our connection with the loyal fans of the team from the capital and its surrounding regions.”

Delhi Daredevil team CEO Hemant Dua adds, “We are happy to welcome DTDC on board the DD family. To have a top notch logistics partner is a crucial part of a successful team. With DTDC on board, we will have great support for all our movements during the season.”
