GMR group is one of India’s top business houses, a major player in developing world-class projects across high-growth areas such as Airports, Energy, Transportation, Urban Infrastructure & Sports. 
 
GMR Sports aims to promote sports amongst youth, connect with the community at the grass root level and build a supporting ecosystem. 

We believe that the core idea of the ‘mother brand’ is to create strong emotional connections with everlasting value for its stakeholders.

At GMR Sports, the cricket franchisees- Delhi Capitals, Dubai Capitals, and India Capitals collectively make the Capitals Universe and indigenous franchisees- U.P. Yoddhas and Telugu Yoddhas form the Yoddhas Universe.

Multiple sporting properties provide limitless opportunities to partners to showcase their brand/s on our umbrella platform throughout the year.

The sporting franchisee assets span different business verticals and formats like academies, merchandise & sports lounge. 

Our sports journey began with Delhi Capitals, one of the most popular IPL cricket teams we co-own with JSW in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team has qualified for playoffs in 6 editions. 

We marked our international debut with Dubai Capitals, a franchise cricket team representing Dubai city in the International Premier League (ILT20), approved by the ICC, that begins in January 2023.
 
Our newest asset is the India Capitals Cricket team in the Legends League Cricket, a global T20 league where celebrated ‘golden’ cricketers of the recent past are seen back in action on the field. India Capitals won the championship in the first season (2022).  
 
In the quest to grow the sporting ecosystem holistically, we acquired U.P. Yoddhas (2017) in the Pro-Kabaddi League (promoted by Disney) and in 2022, invested in Telugu Yoddhas in the Ultimate Kho-Kho League (promoted by Amit Burman, Chairman, Dabur).
 
Sports can and will always connect people & cultures across geographies and boundaries, which is what we aspire to do!
