In his first reaction to being appointed as the new bowling coach of RCB, Salvi said he would like to see the Chinnaswamy Stadium become a fortress for them.
"It’s an honour to join RCB. My goal is to help our bowlers refine their skills and deliver match-winning performances, with the Chinnaswamy Stadium becoming a fortress for us," said Salvi on Monday.
The coach also said that he was excited to reunite with Dinesh Karthik and said they will work to build a united team.
"I’m also excited to reunite with Dinesh Karthik, whose expertise inspires excellence. Together, we’ll work to build a united team that elevates RCB and makes our loyal fans proud," said Salvi.
Salvi currently coaches Mumbai in domestic cricket and was previously with Kolkata Knight Riders set up as an assistant bowling coach during their IPL 2024 triumph. He is the second Indian coach RCB have brought into their backroom staff this year after Dinesh Karthik, their former player, was roped in as batting coach-cum-mentor for the 2025 season.
RCB added that Salvi will join the team once his coaching commitments with Mumbai end in domestic cricket in March 2025.
