- Yuvraj Singh to join Delhi Capitals as IPL coach — Times of India exclusive
- Would be Yuvraj's first IPL coaching/mentoring role
- Yuvraj retired from international cricket in 2019
The Times of India reports exclusively that Yuvraj Singh is set to take the coaching plunge in the IPL with Delhi Capitals, marking his first formal role in franchise cricket since retiring from international cricket in 2019. The two-time World Cup winner — including the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup — brings unrivalled big-match experience to a side that reached the IPL final in 2020.
Delhi Capitals have been building out their support staff, and Yuvraj's addition would represent a high-profile mentoring appointment for their batting unit. His own career was defined by explosive middle-order batting and iconic performances, including his six sixes off Stuart Broad in the 2007 T20 World Cup.
For Indian cricket fans, the development signals a growing trend of legendary players transitioning into IPL coaching and mentoring roles — following the likes of Mahela Jayawardene and Gautam Gambhir. If confirmed, Yuvraj's presence in the dugout could be a significant draw for fans and a genuine resource for young Capitals batters looking to develop their T20 skills at the highest franchise level.
