Sanjay Bangar

Sanjay Bangar, who played 12 Tests and 15 ODIs between 2001 and 2004, will be reunited with India skipper Virat Kohli in his new role with RCB

Talking about stars becoming coaches, Sanjay Bangar said that those who have played at a very elite level may not necessarily understand what players of average ability are going through

Bangar was offered the position of Test batting coach by Bangladesh eight weeks ago but he could not take up the offer as he signed a two-year contract with Star Sports in the interim

Sanjay Bangar was with the Indian team from 2014 to 2019 and was replaced by Vikram Rathour at the start of the home season in September

It is being alleged former India national cricket team batting coach Sanjay Bangar had confronted selector Devang Gandhi and the exchange wasn't friendly. Bangar has now been replaced by Vikram Rathour.

As many as 13 candidates were interviewed for the batting coach's role and five for bowling coach of Indian national cricket team on Monday, while incumbents -- batting coach Sanjay Bangar, bowling coach Bharat Arun and fielding coach R Sridhar -- will be interviewed on Tuesday

In 21 Tests since July 2017, under Ravi Shastri, the Indian cricket team won 13 of them. In T20Is, India registered 25 victories from 36 games with a win percentage of 69.44. The ODI record takes the cake with 43 wins in 60 games and a success rate of 71.67.

Sending veteran MS Dhoni after Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya during India's ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final defeat to New Zealand had raised quite a few eyebrows

With the selection of India cricket team's staff including head coach Ravi Shastri set to happen, according to a BCCI official, R Sridhar and Bharat Arun could continue, but Sanjay Bangar could face the sack.
