admin In a landmark career move, former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has stepped into coaching for the very first time. The legendary cricketer, widely hailed as the architect of modern Indian cricket, has been appointed as the head coach of Pretoria Capitals in the SA20 league.
This marks Ganguly’s debut in a formal coaching role, a decision that has generated immense excitement among fans and cricket experts alike. Known for his sharp cricketing brain, fearless leadership, and ability to groom young talent, “Dada” now carries his wealth of experience into the dugout to shape Pretoria Capitals’ fortunes.
Speaking about his appointment, Ganguly expressed enthusiasm for this new chapter in his cricketing journey. “Coaching is a natural extension of my passion for the game. Pretoria Capitals is a young team with great potential, and I look forward to building a winning culture with them,” he said.

The Capitals, who are part of the Delhi Capitals’ global franchise family, will benefit from Ganguly’s longstanding association with the Delhi IPL team, where he previously served as team mentor. His familiarity with the franchise ecosystem and global cricketing networks is expected to strengthen the squad’s strategies both on and off the field.
Cricket pundits believe this could be a turning point for Pretoria Capitals, who have shown flashes of brilliance in the SA20 but are yet to lift the trophy. Ganguly’s track record of transforming the Indian team in the early 2000s—backing youngsters like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Virender Sehwag—demonstrates his ability to identify and nurture raw talent.
With Ganguly at the helm, Pretoria Capitals will be eyeing their maiden SA20 title and, more importantly, a chance to build a legacy under one of cricket’s most charismatic leaders.
