New Delhi [India], October 10 (ANI): The city's IPL team, Delhi Capitals, honoured and put their weight behind the doctors who ensure the city is healthy, when they joined hands with the Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) during their annual fest, Synapse 2022, recently held in the national capital.

The Delhi Capitals franchise, who have pledged their support for the medical fraternity with the #DCforDoctors campaign, was the official sports partner for the Fest and the sponsors for the Delhi Capitals Doctor's Cup.

Speaking on the occasion, Delhi Capitals CEO Dhiraj Malhotra said, "When our city came to a crumbling halt during the pandemic, it was our medical community that worked day in and day out to get us back on our feet. It is our absolute honour that Maulana Azad Medical College has picked us as partners for 'Synapse'. To all the health workers, I would just like to say this that DC is YOUR team, and you've always got our support. Thank you for everything you do for our city."
