Banger coached Kings XI Punjab in 2014 in which Punjab Kings reached the Final but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders

Indian modern cricket legends like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ajinkya Rahane have openly credited Sanjay Bangar for their brilliant batting growth over the years. In November 2021, Bangar signed a contract with RCB as head coach for two years. His contract renewal will depend on how RCB performs in TATA IPL 2024 where hopes are high again to finally clinch the IPL trophy after a long wait of 15 years.

Virat Kohli RCB Stats in IPL

Virat Kohli has been very faithful to RCB as a franchise as he is playing with them since the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. He has received offers from other franchises but he always said he will continue playing with RCB and finish his IPL career as well with RCB. Virat has been many ups and down during his time in RCB and he also lost his captaincy because of the severe criticism from many cricket experts like Gautam Gambhir when he couldn’t make his franchise Champions even for a single time. 

Below are the astonishing Virat Kohli stats as a batter in IPL all seasons.
