The 54-year-old is back at the franchise he joined as an advisor in 2019 and later served as the director of cricket for both the men's and women's teams.

"We have a talented group and have played a good brand of cricket in the recent past. I am looking forward to working with the squad, the new season, and building a strong and fearless team."
He will take over from Hemang Badani, who led Delhi to a sixth-place finish in the competition this year.

"I cannot wait for all our players and staff to learn from Dada (Ganguly) and am looking forward to seeing DC in action at the earliest."
Ganguly made his coaching debut last year at Delhi's sister franchise Pretoria Capitals in the South African SA20 T20 league.
Ganguly represented India in 113 Tests and 311 one-day internationals between 1992 and 2008.
