Bharat Arun is appointed as RCB’s assistant bowling coach

Bharat Arun has been appointed as the assistant coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. For the first time, he has become part of an IPL team’s staff as deputy to Daniel Vettori. The 52-year-old Arun, who is India’s former fast bowler, is currently working as India’s bowling coach.

Before being appointed as India’s bowling coach, Bharat Arun was in charge of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore as well as the head coach of the Indian team that went to the Under-19 World Cup. His experience to work with the national team will be a big asset for the club.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has always performed poorly despite having a number of star players. Last year, they finished seventh on the points table. Arun is hoping that this time RCB will do well.
