Bangar was involved with the Indian group as the batting mentor from 2014 to 2019, before being replaced by Vikram Rathour toward the beginning of the home season in September. The 48-year-old’s last task was the West Indies visit following the finish of the ODI World Cup.
Bangar has recently worked with IPL establishment Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) as lead trainer, having been at first designated as the associate mentor. KXIP enrolled their maiden appearance in the final of the cash-rich league in 2014, during the tenure of the former Indian cricketer. He proceeded with the franchise for three additional seasons, before abandoning the job.
RCB also have Sridharan Sriram as batting and spin-bowling mentor, with Adam Griffith being the bowling coach.
