IPL 2025: Exciting Opportunity To Step Into This New Role, Says Pietersen On Becoming DC’s Mentor
Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: After being appointed as Delhi Capitals’ mentor ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 season, former England captain Kevin Pietersen said it was an exciting opportunity for him to step into this new role.
Pietersen, 44, joins the DC coaching staff comprising head coach Hemang Badani, director of cricket Venugopal Rao, bowling coach Munaf Patel and assistant coach Matthew Mott. Badani, Rao and Patel were recently involved in coaching Dubai Capitals to the ILT20 title, the first trophy won by a Capitals side in men's or women's franchise T20 tournaments.
This will be the first time Pietersen takes up a coaching role with a cricket team, with his post-playing career mostly around commentary stints. The former right-handed batter had played for DC, then known as Delhi Daredevils, in 2012 and 2014 IPL seasons, amassing 305 and 294 runs, respectively.
