New Delhi: Indian Premier League
(IPL) franchise Delhi Daredevils
announced on Monday that they
have parted ways with head coach
Gary Kirsten.
The former South Africa batsman
and ex-India coach, was appointed in 2014. India won the 2011 World Cup
under his stewardship.
However, his tenure as the
Daredevils head coach was
disappointing. They finished last in
the 2014 IPL and managed to win just
five of the 14 matches in the 2015
IPL, failing to qualify for the play-offs
and finishing seventh in the eight-
team tournament.
Kirsten succeeded Australian Greg
Shipperd as the head coach.
"Gary with his rich coaching
experience made significant
contribution towards our team
culture and his work ethics were
immaculate. We appreciate his
contribution towards our team
rebuilding process and would like to
wish him the very best in all his
future endeavours", Hemant Dua,
CEO, Delhi Dardevils said in a
statement on Monday.
