Overview
- Delhi Capitals confirmed Amit Mishra as their spin bowling coach on Wednesday, completing a specialist coaching lineup led by Sourav Ganguly.
- Mishra joins Yuvraj Singh as assistant and batting coach and Chaminda Vaas as fast‑bowling coach after the franchise moved on its previous support staff.
- A 16‑season IPL veteran, Mishra played 162 matches and took 174 wickets and spent ten seasons with Delhi, giving him deep knowledge of the club’s culture and players.
- The club has recently added young spin options such as Zeeshan Ansari, Vipraj Nigam and Rehan Ahmed who stand to benefit from Mishra’s mentoring and experience with wrist spin.
- The hires form part of a broader pre‑season reset by Delhi and owner JSW to rebuild coaching, develop players and shape retention and auction strategy ahead of IPL 2027.
