New Delhi: The recently concluded second edition of the Savera ‘Run For Good’ event, which took place on Sunday, March 17 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, saw a successful collaboration between the city’s very own Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, the Delhi Capitals, and Central Park, who were the title sponsors for the event.

This collaboration exemplified Delhi Capitals’ commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, embodying the spirit of the city of Delhi. By actively participating in events like the Savera ‘Run For Good’, the IPL franchise demonstrated their dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. Their involvement not only raised awareness about important social issues but also fostered a sense of unity and compassion among the people of Delhi.

Reflecting on the event, Sukhvinder Singh, Interim CEO of Delhi Capitals, shared, “As an integral part of Delhi’s vibrant fabric, the Delhi Capitals proudly partnered with the Savera Association for the ‘Run For Good’ event.
