This has been the best home leg for any team in PKL season 7 and Delhi are on top of the points table with 9 wins in 11 matches so far.

The Delhi-based franchise, owned by DO IT Sports Management, has won all four matches at their home turf Thyagaraj Sports Complex here.

Commenting on this, chief coach Krishan Kumar Hooda said: "I am delighted with the team's performance in the tournament so far. This team has played like champions, with all-round performances being delivered by both young and experienced players. With Joginder Narwal leading the squad, we have seen multiple match winning players like Naveen, Ravinder Pahal, Chandran Ranjit, Vishal Mane, Meraj Sheykh, Vijay Malik and others, each of whom has outclassed their competitors to achieve this result for the team."

"We are positively looking forward for the upcoming games and we will give our 100 per cent to help Dabang Delhi win big," he added.
