The Delhi franchise, on Wednesday, made a big announcement ahead of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indian Premier League (IPL)</strong></a> auction. They decided to change their team name from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals and also changed the logo while coming up with a tag-line which read, &#8220;This is New Delhi&#8221;. When asked about the reason to modify to team name to Capitals, the franchise owners were of the opinion that Delhi, being the capital of India, it suits them the most and will connect with the fans as well.

But the followers of the game and the league seems to have not liked the new team name at all as social media was filled with the trolls soon after the event. Moreover, the change in name will not necessarily give them the better results next season as the team has to do well on the match day.

Delhi is one of the original teams in the IPL but they haven&#8217;t made it to the final of the competition even once and their slump continued even in the previous season. Now that they have changed the team name, it will be interesting to see if they will make it to the playoffs at least next season.

Here we bring you the three other team names the franchise could&#8217;ve gone with:

Delhi Giants seems better even to hear. Also the fact that the Giants suffix works well with the teams in the other sports as well. Manchester Giants is the team named in <strong>British</strong> Basketball League also which has been doing decently over the years. Interestingly, Delhi Giants team name would also have repeated in the cricketing circuit.

The now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL) which had created quite a bit of stir in the Indian cricket comprised of Delhi Giants as well. Those Giants had ended up at the third position in the inaugural edition of the T20 competition and keeping this name might have helped the Delhi franchise a great deal in the IPL too. Having said that, one can only speculate about this now as the name has already <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-delhi-franchise-change-the-team-name-ahead-of-the-next-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>been changed to the Delhi Capitals</strong></a>.

Delhi Wizards was the name of the Hockey team participating in the World Series Hockey. It was one of the eight teams of the tournament which didn&#8217;t go ahead after its first season. Wizards though were one of the better teams of the competition winning 6 matches out of 14 they played. They just missed out on the semi-final qualification by grabbing the fifth position in the points table which is a much better performance than the Daredevils of the IPL over the last few years.

Though the other Wizards in the NBA competition (Basketball tournament) are struggling this season. Washington Wizards have so far won 11 and lost 14 matches and are placed ninth among 15 teams in the competition. Delhi Wizards <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-trolls-delhi-franchise-for-changing-the-name-to-delhi-capitals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>sound a lot better than the Capitals</strong></a> as it has been used by many teams in the other sports.

Predators are those who naturally prey on others and if Delhi plays with that attitude they would become unstoppable in the next league. This name would&#8217;ve just inspired them in that aspect during the 50-day long tournament. Also, the name resembles their earlier name Daredevils which could&#8217;ve made the fan connect even better going forward in the near future.

Also, Nashville Predators is one of the most popular teams in the Ice Hockey based in based in Nashville, Tennessee. In the ongoing league, they ended up at the top of points table in the Central Division with 19 victories and eight losses and are regarded as one of the favourites to win the title. Delhi franchise could&#8217;ve just changed the name to Predators and hoped that the luck of Nashville just rubbed them off in the next season of the IPL.
