Delhi Capitals appoint former India captain Sourav Ganguly as head coach for the IPL 2027 season. Multiple outlets report the move as the latest leadership change as the franchise looks to build towards its next IPL campaign and pursue its first title.
The appointment also reflects Ganguly’s continuing involvement with Delhi Capitals since 2019. Reports say he initially joined the franchise as an advisor and later took on senior responsibilities, including director of cricket roles for both the men’s and women’s teams. One outlet adds that he coached the franchise’s SA20 side, Pretoria Capitals, last year, and another notes he previously returned in different capacities before this new coaching role.
Outlets emphasize slightly different angles: some focus on the franchise’s target of winning an IPL title, while others highlight Ganguly’s long tenure with the organization and his first IPL head-coach job after serving primarily in director/mentor positions. All accounts agree on the timing and that the appointment is specifically for the 2027 IPL season.
