Sourav Ganguly will not be made the head coach of Delhi Capitals, the franchise is looking for a person like Gautam Gambhir
Delhi Capitals: The Delhi Capitals team does not want to make Sourav Ganguly the head coach, because the franchise is looking for a person like Gautam Gambhir for this post.
Delhi Capitals Head Coach: Delhi Capitals had removed the franchise's head coach Ricky Ponting from the post a few days ago. Ponting was the head coach of Delhi Capitals for seven seasons. Now the franchise has started looking for a new head coach. Delhi's Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly had expressed his desire to become the head coach, but the team is looking for a person like Gautam Gambhir for the head coach, not like Ganguly.
Gambhir, while talking to Bengali daily Aajkal, had said, "Why not me? Let's see if I can do it or not. We need to include some new players. I wanted to bring England's new star Jamie Smith into Delhi's SA20 team. He was ready to come, but England will be busy with the India tour at that time."
Now a report by News 18 said that Delhi does not seem interested in making Ganguly the head coach. The report quoted a source as saying, "Ganguly already has a lot of things. As Director of Cricket, he is already planning a lot for the franchise."
A person like Gautam Gambhir is needed for the head coach
The source further said, "The team needs a very practical coach who can follow the circuit very aggressively. Like Gautam Gambhir does. It is no surprise that he has been so successful as a mentor. He keeps an eye on both international and domestic players."
Delhi had a bad condition in IPL 2024
