By IANS News March 14, 2026 • 17:41 PM View: 385

Ahead of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has stepped down as mentor of the Delhi Capitals franchise, stating that he cannot commit the time the role requires. The 45-year-old, however, will be back in the commentary box in the cash-rich event.

DC had appointed Pietersen for the role in February last year, for the 2025 edition of the tournament, as he worked alongside the support staff, which included Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao, Head Coach Hemang Badani, Assistant Coach Matthew Mott and Bowling Coach Munaf Patel.
