Former India captain Sourav Ganguly was on Thursday appointed Director of Cricket for JSW Sports, his role covering all its cricketing properties including the Delhi team in the IPL and the WPL along with the Pretoria Capitals franchise in SA20. JSW Sports and GMR Group co-own Delhi Capitals in the IPL and WPL (Women’s Premier League) while Pretoria Capitals is owned solely by JSW Sports. “In his role, Ganguly will spearhead all cricketing properties owned by JSW Sports, including the Delhi Capitals men’s IPL and women’s WPL teams, and the Pretoria Capitals that plays in the SA20 League in South Africa,” said JSW Sports in a statement.

Ganguly joined Delhi Capitals in 2019 as an advisor, where he worked alongside coach Ricky Ponting, and later returned to the franchise as Director of Cricket after his stint as BCCI president.

Ganguly’s appointment came soon after it was decided that the management of cricket operations for Delhi Capitals’ teams in the IPL and the WPL will be handled in a two-year rotation policy between GMR Group and JSW Group.

The GMR Group will handle the operations of the Delhi Capitals in the IPL for the next two years, while JSW Sports will handle the franchise’s team in the WPL.

Former India batter Hemang Badani is expected to be named head coach ahead of IPL 2025.

Speaking on the appointment, JSW Sports founder Parth Jindal said, “Dada has always had a special place at JSW Sports. For us, he is family first and then the cricketing icon that he is.

“I’ve said this in the past and it stands true even today – he is one of the sharpest brains in cricket and we will always stand to benefit from his guidance and wisdom of the sport.” Ganguly added, “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the JSW Group and the Jindal family personally and professionally which made this an easy decision.

“JSW Sports has been doing visionary work across the board, and I am pleased to be able to lend my experience to all its cricketing projects.”

Former India cricketers Hemang Badani and Venugopal Rao have been appointed as head coach and director of cricket, respectively, as Delhi Capitals unveiled their new coaching staff ahead of the 2025 IPL on Thursday. The 47-year-old Badani, who represented India in four Tests and 40 ODIs, brings an impressive coaching background across various leagues. From 2021 to 2023, he served as a fielding coach with Sunrisers Hyderabad and as a batting coach in successive seasons. He also led the Jaffna Kings to two consecutive titles in the Lankan Premier League and was a batting coach for the title-winning Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the inaugural SA20.

Most recently, he was the head coach of the Dubai Capitals, who reached this year’s ILT20 final.

“It’s my absolute honour to be joining Delhi Capitals, and I’m deeply grateful to our owners for trusting me with the job,” Badani said in a release.

“With the mega auction around the corner, my job, in collaboration with the rest of our coaching staff, is cut out. I can’t wait to get started.” Rao, who has played 16 ODIs for India, was part of the Deccan Chargers squad that won the IPL in 2009. He also played in three IPL seasons for erstwhile Delhi Daredevils and has been associated with the Dubai Capitals, serving as a mentor in the inaugural season and later as director of cricket.

“My association with the franchise has been a long-standing one, and I am thankful for the trust our owners have placed in me by offering me this role,” Rao said.

“I look forward to this new challenge ahead of a new IPL cycle.” The Capitals were runners-up in the 2021 edition but have struggled to reach the top four in the subsequent three seasons.

“We are delighted to welcome Hemang and Venu to Delhi Capitals. Both have been an integral part of our team for a long time, and we’re excited to have them on board in a different role,” said Kiran Kumar Grandhi, chairman & co-owner of Delhi Capitals.

“With their proven track record as coaches, we’re confident that their expertise will be invaluable in helping us achieve our objectives and drive success for Delhi Capitals.” PTI ATK ATK AH AH
