Bowling coach announced before Border Gavaskar Trophy

Actually, before the IND vs AUS Test series and IPL 2025 mega auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore has made a big change in their bowling coach. According to the report quoted by Times of India, they have given the responsibility of bowling coach for IPL 2025 to a player who has played only one List A cricket match.

A player who played a List A match got the responsibility
Franchises have started preparations for IPL 2025. Taking the first step in this regard, Royal Challengers Bangalore has appointed former Indian batsman Omkar Salvi as the team’s bowling coach. He has one wicket to his name in a List A match, while he could not score any runs with the bat.
The 46-year-old veteran may not have had a good cricket career, but he has been brilliant as a coach. He plays the role of head coach of Mumbai in domestic cricket. Under his leadership, the team won the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 and Irani Cup 2024. This news, which came before the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, has caught the attention of RCB fans.
Has been a part of Kolkata Knight Riders
It is worth noting that Omkar Salvi has previously played the role of coach in IPL. At one time he was the assistant coach of Kolkata Knight Riders. However, under his leadership the team failed to win the trophy. But before IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore has played a big bet by appointing Omkar Salvi as bowling coach in place of Adam Griffith. He will try to end RCB’s trophy drought by making the team champions.
