The performance of the Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals was very poor in the 2024 season and the team could not make it to the playoffs. This is the reason why the Delhi franchise has now removed Ricky Ponting from the post of head coach of the team. Let us tell you, Ricky Ponting was appointed as the head coach by Delhi Capitals in the 2018 season.

Under the coaching of Ricky Ponting, the Delhi team made it to the 2020 final but had to face defeat against Mumbai Indians. Former Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly will now be appointed as the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season. Delhi team co-owner Parth Jindal knows very well that the mega auction of IPL 2025 is also going to take place very soon and before that he has made this important change.

According to Times Now, Sourav Ganguly revealed, ‘I have to plan for next year’s IPL. The mega auction is next year and I have started planning for it right now. I want to see Delhi Capitals win the IPL once.

I break the news that Ricky Ponting will not be the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season. Geoffrey Boycott was right when he said that Ricky Ponting has not taken the franchise forward in the last 7 years. I had to talk to the franchise and told them to bring forward an Indian coach. I will be the head coach and let’s see how the team performs?

Let us tell you, Ricky Pant was given full power in the Indian Premier League 2024 but despite this, the result under his coaching was not in favor of the team. Under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, the team could not secure its place in the playoffs.

However, all the players of the Delhi team would definitely want to leave their mark in the upcoming season. After IPL 2023, the Delhi franchise removed Ajit Agarkar and Shane Watson as assistant coaches. Now it remains to be seen how positive this decision of the Delhi team proves to be before the upcoming season?
