Yuvraj Singh joins Delhi Capitals as assistant and batting coach for IPL 2027

Delhi Capitals appointed Yuvraj Singh as assistant and batting coach ahead of the IPL 2027 season. The 44-year-old former India all-rounder will work alongside head coach Sourav Ganguly, marking his first formal coaching role. Yuvraj represented the franchise, then known as Delhi Daredevils, in 2015 after being signed for a record Rs 16 crore.

Yuvraj has mentored several Indian batters in recent years, including Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. Delhi Capitals chairman Parth Jindal cited Yuvraj's experience and winning mindset as key factors in the appointment. The former India player expressed excitement about beginning a new chapter with the franchise and contributing to the team's success.

Delhi have yet to win an IPL title despite reaching the final in 2020. Yuvraj played 304 ODIs, 40 Tests and 58 T20Is for India and was part of multiple World Cup-winning campaigns.
