Royal Challengers Bangalore promoted Sanjay Bangar to the position of head coach for the next two years. In 2021, Bangar worked as a batting consultant and Mike Hesson was the head coach of the team. The latter was also appointed as director of operations by RCB. However, the Bangalore-based franchise has shifted workload from Mike Hesson and permanently signed Sanjay Bangar for the next two seasons.
Under Sanjay Bangar, RCB batting performance flared and it was visible during the course of the tournament. In the Indian Premier League, batting played a crucial role in making RCB qualify for the playoffs. Glenn Maxwell, KS Bharat, Virat Kohli, and Devdutt Padikkal were on fire with the bat throughout the edition.

“Sanjay is very good at building relationships with the players and support staff, he does that through his expert knowledge, which is a key element we are looking for in terms of growing and developing our group so we are title contenders,” Hesson added.
