==Season recap==

===Founding of franchise===
On 21 January 2014, IPTL announced that one of the charter franchises for the league inaugural [[2014 International Premier Tennis League season|2014 season]] would be based in [[Delhi]].<ref name=charter>{{cite web|title=Mahesh Bhupathi Launched IPTL in Melbourne|url=http://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/mahesh-bhupathi-launched-iptl-in-melbourne-1390393112-1|date=22 January 2014|website=Jagran Josh|accessdate=17 November 2014}}</ref> On 19 June 2014, an IPTL [[press release]]<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.iptlworld.com/pdf/IPTL-Owners%20announced.pdf |title=Get Together at Wimbledon with Announcement of Team Owners for India, Singapore, Manila and UAE |publisher=[[International Premier Tennis League]] |date=19 June 2014 |accessdate=19 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129062829/http://www.iptlworld.com/pdf/IPTL-Owners%20announced.pdf |archivedate=29 November 2014 }}</ref> revealed to the [[public|general public]] that the owner of the Indian franchise was [[Micromax Mobile|Micromax Informatics Ltd.]] which preferred to have the team play its home matches in [[New Delhi]] and not in Mumbai.
