Dinesh Karthik returns to RCB in new role, named batting coach and mentor

Ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who failed to win an IPL trophy in 17 editions of the cash-rich league, appointed cricketer-turned-commentator Dinesh Karthi as the batting coach and mentor on Monday (July 1).

"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 the RCB men's team," RCB posted on 'X', formerly Twitter.

"You can take the man out of cricket but not cricket out of the man! Shower him with all the love, 12th Man Army," the post added.
