Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh at DC trials spark IPL 2027 coaching rumours

Less than a month after the conclusion of the IPL season, the league is already witnessing significant movement behind the scenes. The biggest development involves Rishabh Pant, along with notable names such as Kuldeep Yadav and Yuvraj Singh.According to Cricbuzz, Pant is poised for a return to Delhi Capitals as the franchise prepares for a fresh management structure. With Parth Jindal-led JSW set to oversee the franchise for the next two seasons, Delhi Capitals have initiated a trade arrangement with Lucknow Super Giants.&nbsp;The proposed deal will see Pant return to Delhi Capitals, the franchise he represented from 2016 to 2024 before being released ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Cricbuzz had earlier reported on May 29 that a trade involving Pant was under consideration. As part of the agreement, Kuldeep Yadav is expected to move to Lucknow Super Giants. The swap effectively marks a homecoming for both players, with Pant having strong ties to Delhi cricket and Kuldeep associated with Uttar Pradesh cricket. One of the primary hurdles in completing the trade was Pant's record IPL salary of Rs 27 crore.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sources indicate that the wicketkeeper-batter has agreed to a significant pay cut to facilitate the move, similar to the adjustment made by Ravindra Jadeja when he joined Rajasthan Royals last season. It is understood that Pant's revised contract value will be around Rs 15 crore, still slightly above half of his previous salary. Kuldeep Yadav, meanwhile, is expected to continue at his existing remuneration of Rs 13.25 crore with Lucknow Super Giants.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/how-a-missed-flight-made-folarin-balogun-a-us-citizen-and-team-usa-fifa-world-cup-star-1781884416937">How a missed flight made Folarin Balogun a US citizen and team USA FIFA World Cup star</a>&nbsp;Pant's departure from LSG had become increasingly likely after the franchise decided a change in direction and leadership was necessary. Even before the IPL season concluded, discussions had reportedly taken place regarding his stepping down from the captaincy. Under his leadership, Lucknow Super Giants endured two disappointing campaigns, including a last-place finish this season. Pant featured in 111 matches for Delhi Capitals between 2016 and 2024, missing the entire 2023 season due to injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;He also captained the franchise in 43 matches across three seasons before being released ahead of the 2025 mega auction following disagreements with the then Delhi Capitals management under the GMR Group. However, JSW chairman Parth Jindal has remained a strong admirer of Pant and is believed to have supported the move to bring him back. Despite the return, Pant is not expected to automatically reclaim the captaincy, even if leadership changes occur within the team. The trade documents have reportedly been submitted to the BCCI and are currently awaiting approval.<h2>Yuvraj Singh to join Delhi Capitals coaching staff?</h2>In another major development, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is expected to join the Delhi Capitals coaching staff. With JSW taking charge of cricket operations, Sourav Ganguly is set to return as the franchise's head of cricketing affairs. Ganguly is understood to have played a key role in bringing Yuvraj into the support staff structure.&nbsp;As a result, current head coach Hemang Badani may no longer have a role with the franchise.

India star batter KL Rahul has been in outstanding touch as an opener for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 and his consistency could prove crucial in their push for a top-four finish. Delhi currently sit seventh on the points table, having secured four wins from nine matches. They will next face Chennai Super Kings at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday (May 5). During an appearance on JioStar’s ‘Superstars’, Rahul spoke about opening alongside Pathum Nissanka and the clarity he has received regarding his role in the side.&nbsp;Discussing his adjustment to a more attacking approach at the top, Rahul explained that T20 cricket, especially in the IPL, has evolved significantly in recent years. He pointed out that teams dominating the Powerplay are now more likely to win, whereas earlier, matches were often decided in the final overs.&nbsp;He further added, “This season, the messaging from the team management was very clear. They spoke to me before the IPL and wanted me to bat at the top of the order and play with freedom. Teams are aiming for upwards of 60 in that phase. Having that clarity gave me time to think about how to achieve it within my skill set. I've tried to go out each game with that intent. You won't always succeed, but the idea is right.

He has made runs at an average of 54.12 and a strike rate of 185.84. He has hit three fifties and a century so far this season. Speaking about opening the batting alongside Pathum Nissanka in DC, Rahul said, "It's been fun. There isn't a lot of talk in the middle. We've had one or two good partnerships, getting off to a flying start. That's what the team wants, around 60 in the Powerplay. Even a 25-30 run contribution in the first few overs sets the tone for the innings. The conversations between Pathum and me are mostly about playing good cricketing shots while maintaining an aggressive mindset. I've had many opening partners over the years, so it's always enjoyable playing with different players. You learn a lot about the game and about each other." "Most of the discussions happen off the field. At training, we talk about the shots we can play against different bowlers, what our options are if a spinner starts in the Powerplay, and how to stay clear in our approach. We try to challenge each other in training, and once we're out in the middle, it's about staying relaxed and enjoying the competition," he concluded.&nbsp;With inputs from agencies

The conversations between Pathum and me are mostly about playing good cricketing shots while maintaining an aggressive mindset. I've had many opening partners over the years, so it's always enjoyable playing with different players. You learn a lot about the game and about each other." "Most of the discussions happen off the field. At training, we talk about the shots we can play against different bowlers, what our options are if a spinner starts in the Powerplay, and how to stay clear in our approach. We try to challenge each other in training, and once we're out in the middle, it's about staying relaxed and enjoying the competition," he concluded. With inputs from agencies

KL Rahul has been one of the leading run-scorers this season, maintaining an impressive strike rate.

How have DC performed in IPL 2026? Delhi started the season with a six-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their season opener on April 1. In the next match on April 4, DC beat Mumbai Indians, also by six wickets. The Capitals then lost a thriller against Gujarat Titans on April 8 by one run. In the fourth match, Chennai Super Kings beat DC by 23 runs on April 11. DC managed to beat RCB by six wickets on April 18 before losing against SunRisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in their last match. They have two more matches this month before Starc could join them - against Punjab Kings on April 25 and against RCB on April 27.

Strac has not played competitive cricket from late January this year when he helped Australia win home Ashes 4-1 against England. Starc was named Player of the Series for 31 wickets in 10 innings and immediately turned up for Sydney Sixes in Big Bash League (BBL) before being sidelined.

Former Australia skipper Aaron Finch has hit out at Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Axar Patel for his bowling choices in loss vs SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2026 on Tuesday (Apr 21) in Hyderabad. DC lost the match by 47 runs after failing to chase 242 which was set up by Abhishek Sharma's 135 not out off 68 balls. Finch said Axar didn't trust himself to bowl against left-hand batters (SRH top 3) and that it was an attitude issue rather anything else. Axar, winner of 2024 and 2026 T20 World Cup, bowled only two overs in the match, giving away 23 runs and taking the wicket of Travis Head.<h2>Finch calls out Axar's attitude issue vs left handers in SRH match</h2>"It's the responsibility of your captain, your senior player, your retained player, your best bowler, Indian bowler, he's one of your core bowlers in the Indian cricket team. That's no small bit. He's a double World Cup winner. So the fact that he doesn't trust himself to execute under pressure and to defend himself against any left-handers - as soon as a left-hander walks to the crease, not for me today, thanks. To me that says more about his attitude towards it than anything else," Finch said while speaking on ESPNCricinfo's TimeOut.<h2>DC's bizarre bowling choices vs SRH</h2>With Abhishek Sharma in full song, DC, having two world class spinner in Axar and Kuldeep Yadav, made part-timer Nitish Rana bowl four overs. The idea was taking the ball away from left-handers which didn't work as effectively with Rana going for 55 runs in four overs without a wicket. Axar and Kuldeep, on the other hand, bowled two overs each for 23 and 30 runs, respectively but still should have completed their quota ahead of Rana.
