The 2025 IPL season could see the legendary Yuvraj Singh making a comeback to the tournament, but this time in a new role. Yuvraj, who is considered one of India’s greatest all-rounders, is in talks with his former team, Delhi Capitals, about joining them as a mentor.
Delhi Capitals and Yuvraj Singh are reportedly in discussions after Delhi’s disappointing performance in the 2024 IPL season, where they failed to qualify for the playoffs. This underperformance led to the resignation of their coach, Ricky Ponting. Now, the franchise is hoping that Yuvraj’s experience and guidance can help turn things around for the team.
Yuvraj Singh, who played a key role in India’s victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, has not been involved in formal coaching roles within the IPL or domestic cricket. However, he has mentored young players like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, proving his ability to shape upcoming talent.
Yuvraj’s return to the IPL, though not as a player but in a mentoring capacity, has sparked a lot of excitement among fans. His experience and knowledge of the game could be invaluable to Delhi Capitals, especially with Sourav Ganguly already involved with the franchise.
While discussions between Yuvraj and Delhi Capitals are ongoing, both parties seem eager to finalize an agreement soon. If everything goes as planned, Yuvraj’s presence could significantly boost the team’s chances in future IPL seasons.
Delhi Capitals have yet to win an IPL trophy, and with Yuvraj Singh potentially joining their ranks, there’s renewed hope that they might finally break their title drought in the upcoming IPL cycles.
