    JSW Group replaces Daikin to become Delhi Capitals’ Principal Sponsor for IPL 2020

    NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals has announced JSW Group as its principal sponsor, which is the 50 per cent owner of the Delhi franchise, for the upcoming season which is going to be held in UAE between September and November 2020.

    JSW Group replaces Daikin Air-Conditioning who had been the Delhi franchise’s Principal Sponsors since 2015. 

    Delhi Capitals Chairman and co-owner Parth Jindal, who oversees the JSW group’s paints and cement business and is also part of the steel operations has agreed to be the new principal sponsor for the franchise.

    Jindal said, “We at the JSW Group see this as a tremendous opportunity to step in as Principal Sponsor for the Delhi Capitals. At the JSW Group we are rapidly growing and building each of our businesses to be the best in India and the world, whether it is our flagship Steel business or our other ventures in Energy, Infrastructure, Cement and most recently Paints. The fact that JSW is rapidly increasing its consumer facing businesses across steel, cement and paints also calls for the JSW brand to be more visible and there are few properties that garner the viewership of the IPL. 

    Speaking about his expectations on the team’s performance during the new season, he added, “The upcoming edition of the IPL will be different for more reasons than one. I have full faith in our team’s players and coaching staff to better the results of the previous year. I wish them all the very best as they prepare to depart for UAE.”

Impasse over the induction of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal into the football tournament continued as another round of talks with the AIFF did not yield any result. The two teams were adamant to not pay fees to be a part of ISL.

    Now, from ISL 2017-18 season their will be 10 teams playing for the Cup and it will be of a longer format as compared to the previous seasons.

    Two of India’s largest conglomerates, Tata Steel Ltd. – a US$ 18.12-billion company and subsidiary of Tata Group (US$ 103.51 billion 2015-16), and Jindal South West (JSW) Group – US$ 9 billion corporate, are now into the ISL fold.

  • Bangalore FC to now focus on AFC Champions League

    Bangalore FC to now focus on AFC Champions League

    MUMBAI: Addressing the media formally for the first time, after beating Dempo 2-4 and going on to win the coveted I-League championships, Bangalore FC members have spelt their future course of action.

     

    Present for the press briefing held on Wednesday were Club CEO Parth Jindal, COO Mustafa Ghouse, coach Ashley Westwood, assistant coach Pradhyum Reddy, skipper Sunil Chhetri and team consultant Mandar Tamhane

     

    “This has been a fantastic journey for all of us at the club. The fact that we are I-League champions is yet to sink in. Things will only get bigger and better from here. When we started we were fighting with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) that we don’t get relegated. So, to come here as a champion, is unexpected. One thing is for sure, we are not going let go of the title soon. But for that we will have to improve and reinforce our team. We want to be the first India team to qualify for the AFC Champions League,” said Jindal.

     

    Westwood said it was an absolute honour to lead this team to the title. “Any championship title is a huge success. I wouldn’t compare it to anything else but it’s a fantastic honour and I am really proud and privileged to be the head coach. It’s right up there with the most successful things I have done throughout my career. It’s the greatest feeling in the world and I wouldn’t take any shine off it by comparing it with anything else,” said the Englishman when asked if this was his biggest achievement.

     

    With the winning title being taken, there is an individual award at stake which also could come to BFC. Well known Skipper Sunil Chhetri is tied top scorer on 14 goals and with the game against Sporting Clube de Goa left, he could well be on track to bag the award. “People have said that I play for the country but never turn up for clubs and I’m glad they do that. It only motivates me to perform better. There is the possibility of me ending up top scorer in the League and that says a lot,” said Chhetri who has been a revelation playing on the left, a position he has never operated from in his career.
