While Sourav Ganguly, a former cricketer for India, has stated that he would love to coach the Delhi Capitals in the 2025 Indian Premier League, the team is looking for a fresh face—someone who pays close attention to both domestic and international cricket.
A decision about the head coach position will be made in the coming months, according to reports that the team has already begun discussions with two World Cup winners.
Delhi claims that Ganguly is already overworked and that the team is not willing to have him work two shifts. The 52-year-old manages the Pretoria Capitals, Dubai Capitals, and Washington Freedom as a Director of Cricket, and the team anticipates that he won’t have much time to watch domestic cricket closely.
News18 was informed by an insider close to the development that the franchise is eager to add a player of Gautam Gambhir’s calibre to the lineup. The 2020 finalists intend to turn things around and start again with the upcoming mega-auction. With that in mind, they are looking for a long-term coach rather than someone to help them out in the short term.
Planning numerous projects for the team in his capacity as Director of Cricket means that Ganguly already has a lot on his plate. The squad need a highly involved coach who actively monitors the circuit. like that of Gautam Gambhir. That he has been such a successful mentor is not surprising, an insider told News18.
“He monitors athletes, both domestic and foreign. The source continued, “The management does not want a stopgap solution for the head coach position because the new cycle is starting straight after the mega auction this season.
They don’t like the scout team either. The two members of the scouting team, Adhishwar and Shyantanu Chokhani, “haven’t played any serious cricket,” and Jagrit Anand was let go. The owners stated that they anticipate adjustments.

“Jagrit Anand, who played white-ball cricket for Delhi, was the only member of the scouting team with any cricketing experience. The other two, Adhishwar and Shyantanu Chokhani, haven’t played any meaningful cricket since he was let go. It makes sense why the scouting team’s results have been so disappointing. Do you have a certain cricket player in mind that the scouting team uncovered? No, the source replied.
