Sri Lanka pace great Chaminda Vaas is appointed fast-bowling coach of the IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, with the role beginning ahead of the next IPL season. The move is part of a wider staff reshuffle for the team’s coaching setup.
Multiple outlets report that Vaas replaces Munaf Patel, who served as Delhi Capitals’ bowling coach for the previous two seasons. The franchise also brings together high-profile figures in its broader coaching and management group, including Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh, as it continues planning for IPL 2027. Vaas is described as having coaching experience beyond Sri Lanka, including work with Ireland, adding to the franchise’s focus on building a specialist bowling group.
Across reports, the focus remains on Vaas’s appointment and the change in the fast-bowling role. The coverage emphasizes his playing record and coaching background, while giving limited further detail on day-to-day responsibilities or the complete composition of the remaining coaching staff.
