Delhi: Delhi Capitals (DC) have parted ways with their head coach Ricky Ponting and are now looking for a new coach. It is reported that the team has approached two former world champion players. Meanwhile, the name of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is also in the news, but according to franchise sources, Ganguly is unlikely to replace Ponting. The franchise is ready to make changes in its team ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and is preparing for the mega auction.

For your information, let us tell you that Ponting was the head coach of Delhi Capitals for many years. Delhi is one of the few franchises that has not won the IPL title yet. Their best performance was as runner-up in 2020. It is believed that the Delhi team is looking for an aggressive coach like Gautam Gambhir.

A source said that Ganguly already has a lot of responsibility as the franchise's director of cricket and the team needs a coach who can approach things in an aggressive manner like Gambhir does.

Delhi Capitals' performance has not been very good in the last few editions

It is believed that after the ongoing Major Cricket League in America, there will be a meeting of the top officials of Delhi Capitals. The performance of Delhi Capitals has not been good for the last few seasons. After reaching the final in 2020, the team has not been able to qualify for the playoffs. Delhi finished sixth in IPL 2024.

Three Delhi players Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel were part of the T20 World Cup. These three players are at the forefront of being retained for the next season, while the team can also retain Australian batsman Jack Fraser McGurk before the mega auction.
