Delhi Capitals have a new coach and a new director of cricket in place in Hemang Badani and Venugopal Rao, respectively with GMR set to control the operations as part of the co-ownership deal with JSW taking the back seat for a couple of years and that had a lot to do with their retention choices.
"He is one of the sharpest brains in cricket and we will always stand to benefit from his guidance and wisdom of the sport. I am both humbled and delighted that Dada will now head all things cricket for JSW Sports in his role as Director," DC co-owner Parth Jindal said.
Delhi Capitals are making a host of changes to their top brass as Ricky Ponting left the position of head coach vacant earlier this year. After moving Sourav Ganguly to manage the Women's Premier League (WPL) team, the franchise has announced new head coach and Director of Cricket.
Delhi Capitals are looking to retain captain Rishabh Pant as their first-choice retention and also secure the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. Delhi are also eyeing to fill in their coaching staff with two former Indian cricketers after Ricky Ponting's reign.
Rishabh Pant has been playing for Delhi Capitals (DC) since IPL 2016. The southpaw led Delhi Capitals in the previous season and is an important part of their core. If Pant is not retained then Delhi will have to look for a new captain.
With the BCCI expected to announce retention rules soon ahead of the mega auction for IPL 2025, several reports are coming out on social media. Multiple unconfirmed reports are doing the rounds on social media and one of them was Rishabh Pant approaching RCB for next season.
Delhi Capitals named Rishabh Pant as the captain of the franchise in 2021 as part of a long-term plan and it seems the 2020 finalists are set to put that plan into motion by retaining him ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Pant scored 446 runs on his IPL return leading the Delhi Capitals in 2024.
Ricky Ponting, the two-time World Cup-winning captain and one-time IPL-winning coach joined his third franchise in the IPL in the role of head coach, Punjab Kings, ahead of the 2025 edition. Ponting, who recently parted ways with the Delhi Capitals, spent seven years with the franchise.
Ricky Ponting worked as the head coach of the Delhi Capitals since the 2018 season. During his tenure, the Capitals reached the playoffs for three consecutive IPL seasons in 2019, 2020 and 2021. However, the team couldn't lift the trophy in any of the seasons.
"I'm really thankful for my time that I had there (with Delhi Capitals), met some great people, worked with some great people and obviously worked with some great players through the years as well," Ricky Ponting said ahead.
Delhi Capitals finished the IPL 2021 season as the group-stage leaders but failed to secure knockout qualification in the last three seasons. Delhi finished sixth in the points table after just seven wins in 14 games in 2024.
Delhi Capitals ended their campaign in the 2024 edition of the IPL with a 19-run win against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday, May 14 at home. The Capitals have 14 points in their kitty but are unlikely to qualify as they have to depend on outrageous permutations and combinations because of poor NRR.
Delhi Capitals played their last league game of IPL 2024 on May 14 as they ended their season with a 19-run win over Lucknow Super Giants. With impossible net run-rate scenario, their IPL season is done and dusted and soon after the last game, Ganguly has picked their best bowler of the season.
A few years ago, when he made his international debut, Prithvi Shaw was the future superstar. But untimely injuries and poor form and controversies have cost him his place not only in the Indian team but also in the Delhi Capitals side this season.
Arshad Khan was a bright positive that emerged out of Lucknow Super Giants' 19-run loss against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The bowling allrounder displayed his range with the willow in hand after an average outing with the ball in hand.
