TimesofIndia.com has learnt that Sourav Ganguly, who is expected to lead the franchise&#8217;s support setup when JSW Group returns to take control for the next two years, will have his former teammate in the dugout.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>A senior DC official confirmed the development and TimesofIndia.com has also reached out to Yuvraj and JSW Sports founder and director Parth Jindal for a comment. The story will be updated when they respond.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The role will mark Yuvraj&#8217;s first coaching stint in the IPL. The 44-year-old has mentored players such as Abhishek Sharma, Prabhsimran Singh and Abdul Samad in recent years, while also working with Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant and Priyansh Arya. <!-- -->However, he has not yet been part of a formal coaching setup.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Multiple franchises have closely followed his work with young cricketers and the impact he has had on careers, particularly that of Abhishek Sharma. His experience and hands-on approach are viewed as valuable assets, with Delhi Capitals potentially becoming the first franchise to bring him into an official role.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>&#8220;Who wouldn&#8217;t want a Yuvraj Singh in the dugout? Many of his former teammates, including Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan and Virender Sehwag, have had coaching stints in the IPL. Yuvraj may be a little late to the party, but he has spent considerable time working with youngsters and understanding the demands of the role,&#8221; a well-placed source said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t just train players; he mentors them. It&#8217;s not limited to phone calls or virtual sessions. He spends hours on the ground, often standing behind the nets and working under the sun alongside his players. It&#8217;s a genuinely hands-on approach that has benefited numerous cricketers,&#8221; the source added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/exclusive-yuvraj-singh-to-take-plunge-into-ipl-coaching-starting-next-year\/articleshow\/131853980.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File photo of former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh.
