DC coaching staff for IPL 2027: Sourav Ganguly & Yuvraj Singh in key roles
Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh reportedly turned up at Delhi Capitals' trials in Bengaluru, and the duo could form the backbone of Delhi Capitals' thin tank in IPL 2027.
Their presence at the Just Cricket Academy was unmistakable, and the picture it paints is one of a franchise on the verge of a significant coaching overhaul ahead of IPL 2027.
Ganguly's history with Delhi Capitals makes his potential arrival in a senior role feel less like a surprise and more like a natural progression. The former India captain has been away in South Africa coaching Pretoria Capitals in SA20, and according to a PTI report, he's now set to step into the Director of Cricket position at the Delhi franchise. Other reports also mention that Ganguly can take over as the head coach in the capital franchise.
For a team that has missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, bringing in someone of Ganguly's administrative and cricketing stature signals that the overhaul is about more than just swapping a few coaches. With JSW set to take charge of the men's team for the next two seasons, this looks like a reset being designed from the top down.
Yuvraj Singh & Chaminda Vaas set to become new batting and bowling coaches
The PTI report also pointed to Yuvraj Singh taking on the batting coach role. During the trials, Yuvraj was seen standing behind the umpire's end, watching batters closely and assessing their technique.
His presence went beyond a casual observer; he was clearly involved in the evaluation process.
Delhi Capitals' middle and top order has been inconsistent in recent seasons, and Yuvraj would arrive with a very specific brief to sort that out.
Separately, sources told Sportstar that former Sri Lanka pace spearhead Chaminda Vaas has already joined Delhi's preparatory camp and trials in New Delhi. The franchise has yet to make the appointment official, but multiple sources have confirmed his involvement.
