Finally some good news, Bring Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli era in IPL and you will find real firepower in the team”

Hesson had made some blunders or errors during his tenure:
- Not Retaining the best bowler of RCB- Yuzi Chahal

RCB looking for new coaching staff
RCB have so far qualified for the playoffs three times under Bangar and Hesson’s tenure. However, the Faf du Plessis-led side failed to enter the playoffs in IPL 2023 earlier this year. The team registered seven wins and seven losses from 14 league games, finishing at sixth place.
During their time at RCB, both Sanjay Bangar and Mike Hesson shared a great working relationship with veteran Virat Kohli. They were even responsible for the auction strategy, but failing to lead the team to a championship trophy eventually seems to be the main reason behind their sacking.
As of now, Bangalore are still yet to make the final decision on bowling coach Adam Griffith. Amongst the new prospects to join the side are former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower, who’s recent stint with LSG ended after IPL 2023 with many even asking for Ravi Shastri to be given the role.
