Biju George, the former coach of the Indian women’s team, had earlier worked with the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The Thiruvananthapuram native was also part of the coaching staff of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the 2020 season. He also coached the Kuwaiti national team. The addition of Biju George, who has years of experience at the international level and in the IPL, to his coaching staff is one of the great moves of Delhi Capitals.
Former Australian captain and cricket legend Ricky Ponting is the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the IPL. Former Australian star all-rounder Shane Watson, former India captain Ajit Agarkar and Praveen Amre will be the team’s co-coaches this year. Biju George has joined the star-studded coaching staff.
At the same time, Delhi Capitals have been one of the most consistent teams in the IPL for the past few years. They have reached the playoffs in the last three seasons and reached the final for the first time in history in the 2020 season hosted by the UAE. The team, led by Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, also includes superstars Prithviraj Shah, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Shardul Thakur and Antri Norcia. Delhi’s first match of the 15th season of the IPL will be against the mighty Mumbai Indians on the 27th of this month.
