Delhi Capitals is undergoing a significant coaching shake-up ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, with the addition of former Sri Lanka all-rounder Chaminda Vaas as their fast bowling coach. Vaas, a veteran fast bowler with 355 Test wickets and 400 ODI wickets to his name, is set to replace former India pacer Munaf Patel, who had coached the team over the past two seasons.

The 52-year-old joins a revamped Coaching staff led by former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who was recently appointed as the team's head coach. Vaas brings a wealth of international coaching experience to the role, having worked with Sri Lanka's national team on three occasions and briefly coached New Zealand. His coaching background extends to the Indian Premier League as well, where he represented the Deccan Chargers from 2008 to 2010, claiming 18 wickets in 13 matches.

This latest appointment comes as Delhi Capitals continues to revamp its coaching team under Ganguly's leadership, with additional player trades involving pacer T Natarajan and spinner Zeeshan Ansari.
