According to reports, the Delhi Capitals coaching staff is likely to face the axe ahead of the next IPL season. Ricky Ponting-led- support staff has a renowned group with the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Shane Watson, Ajit Agarkar, and James Hopes in their management, but could inspire the team to register a single win in the league.
David Warner-led side had a disastrous start to the season as they lost five matches in the trot. Delhi Capitals were hammered in all five matches and they found nowhere close to winning in the match as they outplayed in the tournament so far.
According to the reports in PTI, Delhi Capitals might looking be for a new coaching set-up in the next edition as they failed miserably in the league so far.
“Obviously, nothing will happen mid-season but the poor result for two successive seasons will have its share of repercussions when JSW and GMR, the two co-owners sit back and take stock of the season,”
The JSW and GMR group have T20 teams around the globe, as their teams Pretoria Capitals and Delhi Capitals Women’s Team played exceptionally well in the league, and will look to certainly add a few new faces in the Indian Premier League.
“So you will certainly not have this jumbo coaching staff next season for sure. There will be a few heads that might roll,” the source added.
With Delhi Capitals regular skipper Rishabh Pant ruled out of the cash-rich league due to a fatal car accident. David Warner was handed the responsibility to lead the Delhi team, which didn’t go according to the plan as they have had a poor start in the last few years.
