IPL: DC set to trade Kuldeep Yadav to get Rishabh Pant back, Yuvraj Singh in coaching staff

NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals (DC) management has already swung into action to prepare for the next season with Rishabh Pant set to come back to Capitals from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). TOI understands that the two franchises have reached an understanding where Pant is likely to be traded with Kuldeep Yadav. Besides, former India batter Yuvraj Singh is set to join DC as a key member of the coaching staff.

The modalities of the agreement are still in process. Pant, who started his IPL career at Capitals, endured two rough seasons at LSG after being picked up at the auction for a record Rs 27 crores in 2025. Kuldeep’s form too has seen a dip over the last couple of seasons at Capitals.

After LSG finished at the bottom of the points table this year, Pant decided to step down as the captain of the franchise.

TOI understands that Capitals are also thinking of a major shakeup in the coaching staff which could see head coach Hemang Badani make way for a someone else. It is learnt that the franchise is also looking at Anil Kumble as a probable member of the coaching staff.
