Kevin Pietersen has been appointed as mentor by the Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2025.
The former England captain will join a new-look coaching staff that includes Hemang Badani (Head Coach), Venugopal Rao (Director of Cricket), Matthew Mott (Assistant Coach) and Munaf Patel (Bowling Coach). The franchise is yet to announce its new captain for the year after releasing Rishabh Pant after the last season.
During his playing days, Pietersen captained the Delhi franchise when it was called Daredevils during the 2014 season. He also led the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2009. This will be, however, his first coaching role in the IPL since his retirement in 2016.
Pietersen enjoys a good relationship with the GMR group that owns the Capitals. He helped broker a deal that saw the GMR group acquire Hampshire County in October 2024.
Delhi Capitals have made just one final in the 17 seasons of the IPL. They will begin their quest for a maiden IPL title with a clash against their former skipper Rishabh Pant's new team, Lucknow Super Giants, on March 24
