Sunil Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, Delhi Capitals, said, as quoted by a press release, "This masterclass reinforces Delhi Capitals' and DP World's shared commitment of empowering the next generation of cricketers, be it by providing access to the right equipment and facilities, or training sessions and inspiration from their cricketing idols. Watching these young cricketers train today and seeing their hunger to learn was incredibly fulfilling."

The participants were kitted out in the professional gear they had previously received in 2024, when DP World Tour delivered 500 kits to grassroots academies and unveiled two repurposed shipping containers at Delhi's Aerocity Ground. These containers, each uniquely designed with custom artwork, now serve as functional changing rooms and pavilions for young players. (ANI)
