Strangering Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Delhi Capitals is actually a good name. It follows the "Washington Capitals (NHL)". It generally means "those proudly representing the capital". It also infers authority and prestige of being from the place that leads.

Mumbai Marines or Mumbai Marathas suits better considering the coastal / historical proximity. Deccan chargers was a great name. Gets all in without specifying a city.
bsriharsha Posted March 19 Posted March 19 The second season of IPL held in SA where Deccan Chargers won was probably the best. Young Telugu bidda Rohit Sharma and Gilchrist as captain Tillu 1

It's all the names with references to royalty - Kings, Super Kings, Super duper kings ... etc - that are cringeworthy Mariyam 1

They were supposed to be "Indi Commandos Kochi", but got severe backlash, so they changed their name to Kochi Tuskers. BacktoCricaddict 1

KinightRiders is another odd one - either call them Knights or Riders but who the hell rides a Knight! What does it even mean? SuperKings is also strange. Maybe call them Emperors or something but just like KnightRiders, SuperKings sounds weird. Also, Mumbai shouldn't have been allowed to use 'Indians'. Let them use something local like Chatrapatis or Ambanis etc. but calling the team Indians when all of the teams are Indians shouldn't have been allowed. It is Punjab Kings
