Chaminda Vaas Appointed Delhi Capitals Fast Bowling Coach Ahead of IPL 2027
Delhi Capitals have revamped their coaching staff following a disappointing IPL season, appointing former Sri Lanka pacer Chaminda Vaas as their new fast bowling coach. Vaas, a 1996 World Cup winner and one of Sri Lanka's top wicket-takers, has joined the team's preparatory camp in New Delhi. The franchise also considered Indian legends Anil Kumble and Zaheer Khan for coaching roles but could not finalize terms. Other additions include Yuvraj Singh as assistant coach and Sourav Ganguly expected as head coach. Delhi Capitals aim to improve after finishing sixth in IPL 2026.
