The JSW and GMR co-owned Delhi Capitals announced the appointment of former Indian <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/yuvraj-singh-to-join-delhi-capitals-as-batting-coach-23635932" rel="nofollow">all-rounder Yuvraj Singh</a> as the franchise's Assistant &amp; Batting Coach on Tuesday ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
The announcement comes a week after DC unveiled former India captain Sourav Ganguly as their head coach. PTI had reported in June that the duo would be joining the franchise.
A veteran of 304 ODIs, 40 Tests, and 58 T20Is, as well as a cornerstone of India's 2007 ICC T20 World Cup and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/15-years-of-indias-world-cup-win-how-the-2011-champions-shaped-indian-cricket-23623831" rel="nofollow">2011 ICC Cricket World Cup</a> victories, the 44-year-old has mentored several established and emerging Indian stars in recent years. This appointment marks his first formal coaching role as he prepares to make his IPL coaching debut.
This move also signals a reunion with the Delhi franchise. Back in 2015, the team (then Delhi Daredevils) bought Yuvraj for a record Rs 16 crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL history at the time, as he played all 14 matches that season. Over his IPL career, he played 132 matches, scoring 2,750 runs and taking 36 wickets.
Welcoming him back, Delhi Capitals Chairman, Co-owner, and JSW Sports Founder Parth Jindal said, "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Yuvi to the Delhi Capitals family. Yuvi is one of Indian cricket&rsquo;s greatest match-winners and someone who has played a pivotal role in mentoring many of the brightest young talents in Indian cricket today. His experience, winning mindset, and ability to connect with players will be invaluable to our squad."
<h2>Yuvraj Singh excited after DC reunion</h2>
Speaking on his new role, Yuvraj expressed excitement to be back at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ipl-2026-delhi-capitals-set-for-mitchell-starc-attack-23628325" rel="nofollow">Delhi Capitals</a> and team up with his former captain Sourav Ganguly.
"I am excited to begin a new chapter in my life with the Delhi Capitals. I have an old association with the franchise and know the owners well, which makes this a special opportunity for me. I&rsquo;m also looking forward to teaming up with Dada, this time as coaches. Coaching is something I am truly passionate about, and I cannot wait to get started with this extremely talented squad. I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s going to be an exciting journey for me, and I look forward to contributing to the team&rsquo;s success." Yuvraj said.
