South Delhi Superstars Is A Chance To Contribute To Game That Has Given Me So Much, Says Dhawan
The franchise was initially bought by Real Force Resources Pvt Limited, and Dhawan has now joined them as a team owner. The South Delhi team has picked players like Ayush Badoni, Kuldip Yadav and U19 Women’s T20 World Cup winner Shweta Sehrawat in the draft for men’s and women’s teams, which happened on August 2.
"As a cricketer who has gained so much from the sport, I feel a deep sense of responsibility to give back and support the future of cricket. The chance to launch the South Delhi Superstars is a chance for me to contribute to the game that has given me so much.”
“This team is not just about winning matches; it's about creating a legacy, nurturing local talent, and showing gratitude to the city that has been my home and source of support throughout my career. I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter and make a positive impact in the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL)," said Dhawan, a member of the 2013 Champions Trophy winning team, in a statement.
