In a video uploaded by the Delhi Capitals on social media, Ganguly recounted that he joined the side in the last minute in 2022 and that while he helped in setting up the coaching staff, he couldn’t make it to the table. He further heaped praise on the side for their run in the previous edition of the WPL and said that it was unfortunate for the side to lose the finals. The Prince of Kolkata also offered an insight into DC’s strategy for the WPL 2024 auctions.
