Not Sourav Ganguly! 2011 World Cup Star Set To Coach Delhi Capitals For IPL 2025: Report

The Delhi Capitals have recently parted ways with Ricky Ponting as their head coach, and former India captain Sourav Ganguly, currently the Director of Cricket Operations at the franchise, had shown interest in stepping into a coaching role. However, it appears that Yuvraj Singh, the legendary Indian all-rounder and Ganguly’s former protege, might be considered for a coaching position for IPL 2025.

According to a Sportstar report, Delhi Capitals are eager to include Yuvraj Singh in their coaching staff. A final decision on this is still pending. There were previous indications that Gujarat Titans might replace Ashish Nehra with Yuvraj Singh, but it now seems that the IPL 2022 champions are looking for a former player to fill Gary Kirsten’s role, who has taken on the white-ball head coach position for Pakistan.

The report also mentions that Delhi Capitals aim to strengthen their batting lineup for IPL 2025 and view Yuvraj Singh as a potential mentor for their batters. Although Yuvraj lacks formal coaching experience, he has worked with players like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma over the years.

While Sourav Ganguly had expressed a desire to take on a coaching role, he is expected to continue overseeing the franchise’s overall operations as the Director of Cricket Operations. Yuvraj Singh previously played for Delhi Capitals, having been the highest-paid player in IPL history when he was bought for Rs 16 crore in the 2015 auction. He scored 248 runs in 14 matches for the team that year before being released ahead of the 2016 auction.
