Former England captain Kevin Pietersen was on Thursday appointed mentor of Delhi Capitals ahead of the upcoming IPL season. The 44-year-old thus returns to the side he captained in 2014. This marks Pietersen's first coaching assignment in the IPL, where he featured in as a player from 2009 to 2016. "I'm so excited to come home to Delhi! I have the fondest memories of my time with Delhi. I love the city, I love the fans and I'll do everything I can to support the franchise in our quest for the title in 2025," wrote Pietersen on X.
