Former India captain and former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly will be back with the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. The sources close to the development revealed the same on Tuesday (January 3).
“Yes, Sourav will be back with Delhi Capitals this year. The discussions and modalities are over. He has worked with the franchise, shares a good comfort level with owners and if he would have worked in IPL, it would have always been with DC,” an IPL source tracking the development told PTI on the conditions of anonymity.
Ganguly was with the DC in 2019 as their mentor. He and DC head coach Ricky Ponting even overlooked the players’ purchase in the mini-auction last month.

Ganguly stepped down as BCCI president in October last year. Now, not just the IPL team DC, Ganguly will oversee SAT20 league side Pretoria Capitals as well as the ILT20 franchise Dubai Capitals.
“If you look at Gautam Gambhir with Lucknow Super Giants and Durban Super Giants and Mahela Jayawardene with MI Emirates and MI Cape Town along with Mumbai Indians, the roles are becoming diverse as in foreign leagues, you aren’t often dealing with the same set of players,” the IPL source added.
