To End Trophy Drought DC Keen To Replace Ricky Ponting With This Ex RCB Star
Ahead of Indian Premier league season 2025 the exit of mentor Ricky ponting from the Delhi capitals has been confirmed. Now the franchise has been looking to hire an Indian coach at the helm. Though Delhi also have Sourav Ganguly as part of the support staff, they reportedly want to hire Yuvraj Singh, one of the finest middle-order batters India have had in white-ball cricket, as the replacement for Ponting ahead of the start of the new season. Yuvraj was earlier linked to a move to the Gujarat Titans as well.
Yuvraj is a well known name in Indian cricket, hasn’t had much top-tier coaching experience. But, the Delhi franchise is eager to add him to the support staff roster, hoping to see him do what Ashish Nehra did at Gujarat Titans. Nehra too was linked with a move away from GT, prompting the franchise to eye Yuvraj as his replacement. But, according to a report, Nehra is likely to continue at GT, with Yuvraj now top on the wishlist of DC, who are yet to win an IPL title.
If Yuvraj does decide to join Delhi capitals, he will have a familiar face in Ganguly to support him. Dada is designated as the Director of Cricket Operations at the franchise. There were rumours of him taking up the coaching job too, but that didn’t materialise.
