The appointment marks Bangar's return to PBKS, having previously been the franchise's assistant coach in 2014 before assuming the role of head coach in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We are delighted to announce the return of our sher, Sanjay Bangar as the new Head of Cricket Development at Punjab Kings. Bangar brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our organization, and we are confident that under his leadership, our cricket development programs will reach new heights,\" PBKS said in a statement posted on social media platform X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Under Bangar in 2014, PBKS (then Kings XI Punjab) finished runners-up which remains their best performance to date. However, they have not managed to reach the playoffs since that season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following his previous stint with the PBKS, Bangar went on to serve as the batting coach for the Indian team, contributing to their journey to the semi-finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He subsequently took on the role of batting consultant for Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of IPL 2021 before being appointed as their head coach for the succeeding two years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ipl-2024-sanjay-bangar-appointed-punjab-kings-head-of-cricket-development.jpg", "alt_img": "IPL 2024: Sanjay Bangar appointed Punjab Kings' Head of Cricket Development", "alt_title": "IPL 2023: RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar urges newbies to step up from domestic tournaments", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "IPL 2024: Sanjay Bangar Appointed Punjab Kings' Head Of Cricket Development On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "IPL 2024: Sanjay Bangar Appointed Punjab Kings' Head Of Cricket Development, Indian Premier League: Former India allrounder Sanjay Bangar has been appointed the head of cricket development at Punjab Kings (PBKS),.", "seo_keywords": "Sanjay Bangar, Punjab Kings, Cricket Development, New Delhi, Former India, Indian Premier League, Under Bangar, Kings XI Punjab, ODI World Cup, Royal Challengers Bangalore", "tag": "", "tagging": "Sanjay Bangar, Punjab Kings, Cricket Development, New Delhi, Former India, Indian Premier League, Under Bangar, Kings XI Punjab, ODI World Cup, Royal Challengers Bangalore", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "ipl-2024-sanjay-bangar-appointed-punjab-kings-head-of-cricket-development", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1427", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-12-08 19:24:04", "updated": "2023-12-08 19:24:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Sanjay Bangar, Punjab Kings, Cricket Development, New Delhi, Former India, Indian Premier League, Under Bangar, Kings XI Punjab, ODI World Cup, Royal Challengers Bangalore", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-12-08 19:24:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-2024-sanjay-bangar-appointed-punjab-kings-head-of-cricket-development-133700" }
