Delhi Capitals Appoint Hemang Badani as Head Coach and Venugopal Rao as Director of Cricket

The IPL franchise revamps its coaching staff with experienced former cricketers ahead of the 2025 season.

Hemang Badani, a former India cricketer, will serve as the head coach for the next two IPL seasons.
Venugopal Rao, another former India player, takes on the role of Director of Cricket for the Delhi Capitals.
Both Badani and Rao have prior connections with the franchise, having worked with related teams like the Dubai Capitals.
The appointments come as the team aims to improve its performance after not reaching the top four in the last three IPL seasons.
The duo's first major task includes preparing for the upcoming mega auction to build a competitive squad.
