In a significant homecoming for one of the Indian Premier League’s most decorated bowlers, former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra has returned to Delhi Capitals (DC) as their spin bowling coach ahead of the IPL 2027 season.
Overall, Mishra is widely celebrated as one of the IPL’s greatest match-winners, bagging 174 wickets in 162 games and standing as the only bowler in the tournament’s history to register three hat-tricks. Notably, Delhi Capitals have never won an IPL title and have reached the final only once (in 2020). With a star-studded coaching group that mixes deep franchise knowledge (Mishra) with international pedigree (Ganguly, Yuvraj and Vaas), the side will hope to end its long wait for silverware in the 20th edition of the tournament.
In a video shared by the franchise, Mishra expressed his delight at beginning his coaching career with the team he has long called home. “I don’t know about legends, but I did really decent in IPL. Dilli Dilliwalon ki hai. When the first season of IPL was held, I was part of DC.
Today, when I am starting my coaching career, it’s also with the DC team, and so I am very happy,” he said.
