Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) announced the appointment of Andy Flower as their new Head Coach ahead of IPL 2024. The former Zimbabwe cricketer has an ample experience in coaching and interestingly, he was also the coach of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2022 and IPL 2023.

Flower has coached teams all around the globe and comes with an impressive portfolio. The Zimbabwean has guided the Multan Sultans (PSL), Trent Rockets (The Hundred), Maratha Arabians (Abu Dhabi T10), and Gulf Giants (ILT20) to title wins. With such an impressive record, RCB will hope for a change in fortunes with Flower at the helm.

“Andy is one of the best coaches in the game today. He has inspired players in leagues across the world. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Royal Challengers Bangalore. His track record of success is ideal to take RCB forward,” said Rajesh V Menon, Vice President & Head of Royal Challengers Bangalore on Flower’s appointment (via RCB website).

Hehe, @RCBTweets again focussing on the wrong areas. Changing the coach every 2-3 years is not going to help! Spending big on foreign players and @imVkohli won't either. Scout and groom young Indian talent and STICK WITH THEM! But, alas. Same mistakes year after year. @malolanr

Notably, RCB ousted Mike Hesson and Sanjay Bangar to make place for Flower. The duo did a decent job together but RCB failing to make it to the playoffs in IPL 2023 forced the management to not renew their contracts.
