The Story in Brief
Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh were spotted at Delhi Capitals trials at Just Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, intensifying speculation of a coaching overhaul ahead of IPL 2027. Yuvraj was seen behind the umpire monitoring batters, while Ganguly participated actively alongside new coaching staff member Amit Mishra.
Neither the franchise nor the players have confirmed any roles. Times Now reports that coaching changes are expected under the JSW-led management phase, with Ganguly likely as head coach or director of cricket and Yuvraj as batting coach. The presence also links to Rishabh Pant's return to DC, as he had previously recommended Yuvraj for the backroom.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Ganguly and Yuvraj joining Delhi Capitals' coaching setup is typical pre-IPL hype. Both players are legends, but coaching demands more than past performances. It is easy to assume that a reunion will fix the team's issues, but the real test is how they adapt to modern strategies and player management. No amount of nostalgia will win matches. Watch for the official announcement from JSW Sports: if they are hired, their specific roles will matter more than their names.
