Dinesh Karthik returns to RCB in new role, named batting coach and mentor
Dinesh Karthik played a pivotal role in RCB's journey to the playoffs in IPL 2024.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have announced veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik as their batting coach and mentor for the men's team. Karthik, who announced his retirement after IPL 2024, will return to the RCB dugout, but this time in a different capacity.
Karthik became a fan favourite in RCB on his second stint with the franchise when he returned to IPL 2022. He donned the finisher's role with perfection and smashed 796 runs in his last three seasons of the cash-rich league.
“Welcome our keeper in every sense, Dinesh Karthik, back into RCB in an all new avatar. DK will be the Batting coach and Mentor of RCB Men’s team!,” RCB made an official announcement on their social media.
The franchise urged its fans to shower love on the veteran wicketkeeper batter.
“You can take the man out of cricket but not cricket out of the man! Shower him with all the love, 12th Man Army!” RCB wrote on X.
