The franchise was lambasted on the internet for the video. The nature of the content was labelled 'cringe' by many fans. Here are some of the comments made by fans:
"New low for Delhi Capitals. At this point, even they must be hoping one day this AI will finally win them a trophy," a fan said.
"No shame posting a reel like this on a professional page? The admin must be a 14-year-old kid This is peak cringe content," a nother fan wrote.
"I need to check 2 time is it posted from a fake account or real ones. Maybe an intern is holding their X account," another post read.
"Saalon sharam karo. They both are happily married. How about trying wining a trophy instead?," a fan said, slamming DC for the tweet.
Delhi Capitals remain one of the few franchises to have not won an IPL title since the start of the tournament in 2008. In the IPL 2025 season, DC failed to qualify for the playoffs, finishing 5th in the overall standings.

Sacked from India job, former KKR assistant coach Abhishek Nayar lands top role at Women's Premier League franchise
Abhishek Nayar, who was sacked as India men's team assistant coach in less than a year into the job, has been appointed as the head coach of the Women's Premier League (WPL) franchise UP Warriorz on Friday for the next season. Nayar's appointment comes after UP Warriorz parted ways with Jon Lewis in June earlier this year after three seasons. Nayar, who played three ODIs for India in his short stint, has been a stalwart in Mumbai cricket. Since his retirement in 2019, Nayar served as an assistant coach for Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He was also the lead coach of the KKR academy in 2018 and also served as Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) head coach in Caribbean Premier League in 2022. "Bringing Abhishek Nayar on board as head coach feels like a natural and exciting step forward for UP Warriorz," UPW COO and director of cricket Kshemal Waingankar told ESPNcricinfo. "When someone of Abhishek's calibre became available, it was a no-brainer. Few in Indian cricket bring the same depth of experience when it comes to shaping players and shaping winning cultures. 'In just the past 18 months alone, Abhishek has been part of three championship-winning campaigns, each in a different role, each leaving a lasting impact. We are thrilled to have him lead a Warriorz side that's united, fearless and hungry to grow. With Abhishek at the helm, we believe this group can do something truly special.' Although Nayar has never coached a women's team, he did work with the UP Warriorz players in a week-long off-season camp in August 2023 in Bengaluru. He has also worked with a number of international and uncapped players over the years to hone their skills. Having worked with mentor Gautam Gambhir at KKR, Nayar had built a good rapport with the former India opener and their partnership played a key role in the Kolkata-based franchise lifting the IPL title for the third time in 2024. With Gambhir being appointed as Indian men's team head coach, he also took Nayar into the national setup, thus joining as an assistant coach in 2024. However, with the Indian team faltering heavily against the likes of New Zealand (home) and Australia (away) in Tests, Nayar got the axe in April. He then returned as the KKR assistant coach midway into IPL 2025.

WPL 2026: UP Warriorz appoints Abhishek Nayar as head coach
UP Warriorz has made the appointment of Abhishek Nayar as its new head coach ahead of next season's Women's Premier League. Nayar played a key role as assistant coach in helping Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinch the Indian Premier League (IPL) title in 2024, and was also a part of the coaching set-up for Team India when it won the Champions Trophy earlier this year. A former Indian international all-rounder and a key figure in Mumbai's domestic cricket setup, Nayar has seamlessly transitioned into one of the most influential coaches in the Indian cricketing ecosystem. His journey as a coach has been defined by his ability to mentor and nurture young talent and help top athletes push past their limits. This isn't Nayar's first time being associated with the UP Warriorz since he also spent a brief stint with the team during its off-season training camps after the inaugural season. The franchise is confident that him stepping into the head coach role will bring consistency and strength to the team's preparations. During his time with the Indian team, he worked closely with the top batters in the team, and KL Rahul personally credited Nayar for helping him regain his form in the T20 format. Among the other players he has worked with behind the scenes are also the likes of former India captain Rohit Sharma and former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik. Speaking on his appointment, Nayar said, 'I really enjoyed my time working with the UP Warriorz before and I'm thrilled to take on this new role. WPL is a fantastic platform for women's cricket and I'm looking forward to working closely with the management to build a strong team for Season 4. UP Warriorz already have a strong foundation in place, and I believe we can build something truly special. There is incredible potential and I will give it my all to help win their first-ever title this season' Jinisha Sharma, Director, Capri Sports, stated, 'We believe that this appointment shows our strong intent to elevate the team's performance and push for greater success in the upcoming WPL season. With Abhishek Nayar's leadership, experience in coaching at the highest level and ability to bring out the best in players, the franchise is confident of a strong showing this season.'
