Andre Russell roared back to form with a powerful performance in Kolkata Knight Riders’ nail-biting one-run win against Rajasthan Royals at Eden Gardens on May 4. Following the thrilling match, Russell was seen interacting with Sourav Ganguly, where a significant proposal was reportedly discussed regarding his future in franchise cricket.
The Delhi Capitals’ ownership group—GMR and JSW—also operates other franchise teams including the Dubai Capitals (ILT20) and Pretoria Capitals (SA20), along with a women’s IPL team. While Ganguly served as DC’s mentor in 2023 and 2024, he is currently the Director of Cricket for the JSW group, spearheading their global cricket operations.
In a unique arrangement, GMR and JSW divided responsibilities across their franchise teams ahead of IPL 2025. GMR manages the Delhi Capitals men’s team and the Dubai franchise, while JSW oversees the women’s team and the Pretoria Capitals. This structure will flip before the 2027 season, showcasing a long-term collaborative approach.
Sourav Ganguly has played for KKR in three seasons and led the side in two editions.
