In a recent news, RCB has roped in Omkar Salvi as their fast bowling coach for the upcoming 2025 IPL season. The 43-year-old coach, is set to bring his extensive domestic experience to RCB as they continue to revamp their coaching staff in pursuit of their elusive maiden IPL title.
Omkar Salvi To Be Appointed As RCB's Fast Bowling Coach
According to reports of Indian Express, Omkar Salvi has been appointed as the fast bowling coach and an official announcement from RCB is expected soon. His appointment comes at a strategic time for the franchise, which is looking to bolster its backroom staff ahead of the 2025 IPL season and the imminent mega auction.
“He has been appointed as bowling coach for RCB for the forthcoming season, he has expertise and has worked with other franchises too,” a source confirmed. RCB will be making an official announcement for the same soon.
Omkar Salvi's Contribution As A Coach In Domestic Cricket
Omkar Salvi is no stranger to the Indian domestic cricket. Under his guidance, the Mumbai team clinched the Ranji Trophy title last season. Known for his behind-the-scenes approach, Salvi has previously served as an assistant coach with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Salvi, who is also the brother of former India pacer Avishkar Salvi, has built a reputation as a coach focused on technical refinements and player development.
However, his coaching journey briefly took a turn as he took up a contract with the MCA, where he has served as head coach since 2022. His contract with MCA is set to expire in March 2025. Earlier this year, the franchise announced the appointment of veteran cricketer Dinesh Karthik as their batting coach and mentor for the 2025 season. With three finals appearances in their history but no titles to show for it, RCB has been on a quest to find the right formula for success.
