Delhi Capitals Replace Sourav Ganguly as Director

The Delhi Capitals have decided to part ways with Sourav Ganguly as their Director of Cricket ahead of IPL 2025, marking a significant shakeup within the franchise. Venugopal Rao is set to replace Ganguly, while Hemang Badani will take over as head coach following Ricky Ponting's recent resignation. This restructuring comes as GMR takes control of operations from JSW, prompting a complete overhaul of the backroom staff. Reports also indicate that Rishabh Pant may be removed from his captaincy role, with Akshar Patel emerging as a potential successor. Ganguly will transition to overseeing the Women's team and the Pretoria Capitals in SA20, ending his involvement with men's cricket in the IPL. The Delhi franchise aims to revitalize its performance after finishing sixth in the previous season.
