Punjab king

Indian Premier League: Amidst the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 trading, Punjab Kings sprang a surprise by bringing back Sanjay Bangar as their head of cricket development. Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia has now emphasized that the former India batting coach was the unanimous choice of all the owners.

Prior to this, Bangar, a former India cricketer with a wealth of coaching expertise, had a contentious relationship with the team's promoters during his previous stint.

"Basically, when Bangalore released him, we were very happy. So, it's a homecoming of sorts in that sense. And we're so happy that he's come back, and he'll be working with Trevor (Bayliss, the head coach) and everyone else. And his return is very much appreciated and welcomed," Ness Wadia, the co-owner of Punjab Kings, told Cricbuzz.
