‘Are bhai kehna kya chahte ho’ – Half of Twitter confused, other half likes DC’s new ‘Rainbow jersey’ for CSK clash

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will be adding a vibrant touch to their final game of the season against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by sporting their unique rainbow-themed jersey. This tradition has been observed by the franchise since 2020 as a celebration of India’s diversity. Each season, DC wears this special jersey for one game, symbolizing unity and inclusivity.

Last year, the team showcased the rainbow jersey during the second half of their campaign against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Following the match, the jerseys were auctioned to raise funds for the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) in Vijayanagar, Karnataka. The franchise began this tradition in IPL 2020 when they faced the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and continued it in 2021 against the Mumbai Indians (MI).

To mark their final game of the season, DC took to social media to announce their intention of donning the colourful jersey. The team hopes that this colourful gesture will bring a vibrant and positive conclusion to what has been a challenging season for them.

Unfortunately, the Delhi Capitals have struggled throughout this year’s IPL, managing only five victories in 13 games. They were the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race, and despite a recent win against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), they find themselves second to last on the points table.

One of the major areas of concern for DC this season has been their batting performance. With only skipper David Warner featuring in the top 30 of the Orange Cap list, the team has lacked consistency and firepower in their batting lineup. After three consecutive seasons of making it to the playoffs, the last two seasons have been disappointing for DC as they continue their pursuit of the coveted IPL silverware.

Despite the team’s struggles, their decision to don the rainbow-themed jersey symbolizes their commitment to unity and diversity. It serves as a reminder of the values and principles they hold dear, even in challenging times. As the Delhi Capitals bid farewell to this season, they remain determined to bounce back stronger and reclaim their position as strong contenders for future IPL glory.
