Royal Challengers Bangalore delegated Sanjay Bangar as head coach for a two-year term on Tuesday. The former batting coach will succeed Simon Katich, who resigned ahead of IPL second-phase.
Sanjay Bangar is a former Indian all-rounder who has represented the country in 27 internationals. He was essential for the Indian changing area in numerous capacities with respect to a long time starting around 2014, including batting coach, head coach and assistant coach. He was selected as the batting coach of the RCB in February 2021.
“Since the conclusion of the IPL, the process we have been working through, obviously, we have been through interviews, we have been really pleased with the quality of candidates we have spoken to,” said Mike Hesson.
“But in the end Sanjay was a standout candidate. He’s highly respected as a coach. Primarily known as batting coach but certainly has far more expertise than just that. We are really lucky to have Sanjay on board with us at the RCB,” he added.
Sanjay Bangar expressed gratitude toward RCB for his appointment. He said the reserved alcove staff had effectively started their spadework towards techniques for the IPL 2022 season and the mega auction that will go before it.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the RCB management and the entire structure of RCB for reposing faith in me and giving me the opportunity in the position of head coach to serve a great franchise. Our work has already begun in terms of auction strategies and retentions and all of that,” he said.
“All our scouting teams and coaches have already put their heads together and have started work in the right earnest. I would like to assure each one of the RCB fans that we are committed to building a strong franchise and we are committed to achieving the long-cherished dream of RCB to win an IPL championship,” he added.
