Delhi Capitals has announced its new head coach ahead of the upcoming IPL 2027 season. DC has appointed former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly as its new head coach. The Delhi team gave this information to the fans by releasing a video of Dada on social media. Written along with the video, ‘Delhi, now is the time for bullying.’ Let us tell you, on Monday itself, Delhi Capitals had officially announced their separation from their current coaching staff before the 2027 IPL season. Ganguly will replace Hemang Badani in the coaching staff of Delhi Capitals, who was the head coach of the team in the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
The coaching team of Delhi Capitals included former Indian player Hemang Badani as head coach, Venugopal Rao as director of cricket, Munaf Patel as bowling coach, Ian Bell as assistant coach and John Mooney as fielding coach.
Under the operating agreement between GMR and co-owner JSW in 2024, the team was operated by GMR for these two seasons. After completion of two years, all of them have been retired and now DC will get a new coaching staff.
Sourav Ganguly has an old connection with Delhi Capitals
Sourav Ganguly has a long association with Delhi Capitals. In 2019, he joined this team for the first time as a consultant. At that time he was the President of CAB and later became the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Ganguly had then said that his role as CAB president was honorary and he could not influence IPL-related activities. Ganguly served as the head coach of Pretoria Capitals in South Africa’s SA20 league earlier this year. This was his first experience as a coach. She has also been associated with the Delhi Capitals team in the Women’s Premier League.
After Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh may get big responsibility
There are reports that Yuvraj Singh may also enter the coaching staff of Delhi Capitals. Yuvi has groomed many players behind the scenes, but now he can be seen coaching in the DC camp. Delhi Capitals can include him in its coaching staff as batting coach. They have produced players like Abhishek Sharma and Shubhman Gill who are currently making waves for India on the international stage.
