Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra has joined Delhi Capitals’ coaching staff ahead of IPL 2027.

Amit Mishra, 43, returns to Delhi Capitals as spin-bowling coach for IPL 2027 after 10 seasons with the franchise.

Amit Mishra, Delhi Capitals’ highest wicket-taker, will return to the franchise as its spin-bowling coach for IPL 2027.

The former India leg-spinner spent 10 seasons playing for the Delhi side. His career also included stints with Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. Mishra represented India in 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20 internationals.

“I have to be in a different zone,” Mishra said in a video shared by Delhi Capitals. “I have played only as a player in such a big tournament.” He added that having played alongside several cricketers who are still active would help in the new role.

Mishra joins a Delhi Capitals support staff led by head coach Sourav Ganguly, with Yuvraj Singh as assistant coach and Chaminda Vaas as fast-bowling coach.
