History
In October 2022, the BCCI announced its intentions to hold a five-team women's franchise cricket tournament in March 2023. The tournament was named the Women's Premier League in January 2023, with investors buying the rights to franchises through a closed bidding process during the same month. GMR Group and JSW Group, the owners of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, bought the rights to one of the franchises.
In February 2023, Jonathan Batty was announced as head coach of the side. The inaugural player auction for the WPL was held on 13 February 2023, with Delhi Capitals signing 18 players for their squad. At the inaugural tournament, Delhi Capitals qualified directly for the final after topping the group, winning six of their eight matches. However, they lost in the final to Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.
