IPL 2016: Rahul Dravid named Delhi Daredevils mentor

South Africa's Paddy Upton has been elected as the team's head coach while former Indian first-class cricketer Zubin Bharucha will be the technical director of the Delhi Daredevils. "He brings in calm and experience to the dressing room and with a young looking Daredevils squad he will bring an immediate impact", said Kiran Kumar Grandhi, business chairman of Delhi Daredevils Dravid, Upton and Bharucha were earlier together at Rajasthan Royals.

Recently, Dhoni and Suresh Raina had admitted that they would miss turning out for Chennai Super Kings and Dravid, who played for Rajasthan Royals and then helped them win 13 of their 28 matches as mentor, echoed their sentiments, but was hopeful of having a memorable experience in Delhi. There's no further information about this association with the Daredevils is a long-tenured one or a temporary deal, and Dravid said his current focus lied on the upcoming season. I am looking forward to adding to that group and hopefully we will have a better season than past year. I've worked with some very fine people there and there are a lot of fond memories I hold during my tenure there.
