Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have made plenty of changes to their coaching staff ahead of IPL 2024.

The Faf du Plessis-led franchise endured a frustrating season last year as they blew hot and cold constantly. Eventually, the Bengaluru-based franchise failed to qualify for the playoffs and finished the league-stage at the sixth spot.

RCB Will open their campaign against defending champions Chennai Super Kings at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 22, 2024.

Following a disappointing IPL 2023, where they failed to make it to the playoffs, the Royal Challengers Bangalore made sweeping changes to their coaching staff as they parted ways with Director of Cricket, Mike Hesson, and head coach, Sanjay Bangar.

The Bengaluru-based franchise has roped in legendary Zimbabwe cricketer and former England’s Men’s Cricket Team head coach, Andy Flower.

Flower, who represented his country in 63 Tests and 213 ODIs, has achieved heaps of success as a coach at both international and franchise levels. In the T20 circuit, the former wicketkeeper-batsman has served as head coach of Multan Sultans, St. Lucia Zouks, and Lucknow Super Giants. He served as the head coach of the latter for two seasons before jumping ship to Bengaluru ahead of IPL 2024.
