Pant, Axar and Bharat underwent a direct bubble-to-bubble switch. They had been earlier within the Indian group bubble for the just-concluded Test collection towards Sri Lanka. Earlier on Tuesday, the Capitals appointed former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson as an assistant coach for the upcoming season of the league.
The 40-year-old joins the DC teaching employees comprising Ricky Ponting (Head Coach), Pravin Amre (Assistant Coach), Ajit Agarkar (Assistant Coach) and James Hopes (Bowling Coach).
“The IPL, the best T20 tournament in the world. I’ve got incredible memories as a player, first of all with Rajasthan Royals winning it in 2008, led by the incredible man Shane Warne, RCB and then CSK,” Watson mentioned in a press release issued by DC.
“I’ve got incredible memories as a player, and now have coaching opportunities. It’s come to be able to work under the great Ricky Ponting. He was an amazing leader as a captain, and now to be able to coach under him.
“He is among the finest coaches on the planet now. So, for me to have the ability to study the ropes underneath Ricky, I’m actually excited,” he added.
Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in their first match of the IPL season on March 27.
