RCB evaluate Hesson, Bangar contracts; franchise may fire coaches.
The RCB are looking at Hesson and Bangar’s contracts and may decide to break ways with the coaches. During Hesson’s time with RCB as coach and then as director of cricket operations, the team did well but fell short of winning the IPL.
BENGALURU: Director of cricket operations Mike Hesson and head coach Sanjay Bangar’s contracts are being looked at by Royal Challengers Bangalore, which could lead to a change in the coaching team.
In general, IPL coaching staff contracts expire in September, and the RCB said that their performance will be carefully considered before a choice is made.
“They still have a deal with RCB. Reviewing the team is still going on. “If there is any news, we will come back,” the company said in a statement.
Bangar and Hesson were not available right away to talk about how their deal with the RCB was going.
Hesson joined the Royal Challengers in 2019, when the club was at the bottom of the pile.
Bangar was made head coach before the IPL 2022 season because Simon Katich left the club for personal reasons.
Even though RCB didn’t win the IPL, they did well while Hesson was their coach and later their director of cricket operations.
In 2020, Hesson’s first year in charge, RCB finished fourth in the league stage under his leadership, but they lost the Eliminator to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In the IPL 2021, RCB placed third in the standings, but they lost the Eliminator again, this time to Kolkata Knight Riders.
In the next IPL, RCB was in fourth place, but they lost the second qualifier to Rajasthan Royals.
During the IPL 2023, though, they didn’t make it to the playoffs.
During the first year of the Women’s Premier League, Hesson was also in charge of the Royal Challengers Bangalore women’s team.
The RCB team, which was led by Smriti Mandhana, came in fourth in the league of five teams.
