New Delhi. Before IPL 2027, Delhi Capitals (DC) is preparing to make a big change in its support staff. According to reports, Team India’s former star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh can now be seen in a new role with the franchise. If this happens, it could prove to be a big turning point for DC, which struggled last season.

According to a report, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh may join the support staff of Delhi Capitals (DC) from IPL 2027. At the same time, with Sourav Ganguly coming back under the control of the franchise, he is expected to be made the head of the support staff. This news has also been confirmed by a senior DC official.

DC eyes Yuvraj Singh for IPL 2027

44-year-old Yuvraj Singh is very popular among the young players. He has trained players like Abhishek Sharma, Shubhman Gill and Prabhsimran Singh at some level or the other. This is the reason why DC has decided to add this explosive batsman and effective left-arm spinner. A source said, Who wouldn’t want a player like Yuvraj Singh in the dugout? Many of his former teammates like Ashish Sharma, Zaheer Khan and Virender Sehwag have already coached in the IPL. Yuvraj may be a little late, but he has spent a lot of time with the youth and has understood the demands of this role very well. The source further said that he not only trains but also mentors the players. It is not limited to just phone calls or virtual sessions. He spends hours on the field, standing behind the nets and working with the players in the sun. His hands-on approach has proved beneficial for many players.

DC is in dire need of change

Yuvraj Singh’s IPL career was 11 years long, in which he scored 2750 runs in 132 matches, his average was 24.77 and strike rate was 129. He scored 13 half-centuries, while his highest score was 83 runs. Now his expertise can improve the declining situation of Delhi Capitals. The team captained by Akshar Patel did not live up to the expectations in IPL 2026. The team stood sixth with 7 wins and 7 losses. The batting failed on important occasions, while the bowling also looked weak. Currently, the coaching staff of the team includes Venugopal Rao as cricket director, Hemang Badani as head coach, Ian Bell as assistant coach and Munaf Patel as bowling coach. Now it will be interesting to see if Yuvraj Singh joins this setup, will he be able to give a new direction to Delhi Capitals.
