IPL 2024: Punjab Kings part ways with Wasim Jaffer, Sanjay Bangar to take up batting coach role

The Punjab Kings are set to face off against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their first match of the IPL 2024 season at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on March 23rd

Punjab Kings have parted ways with batting consultant Wasim Jaffer ahead of the IPL 2024. Sanjay Bangar, appointed as the cricket director for the team, will now take on the additional role of batting coach. Bangar, who previously worked with RCB and served as India’s batting coach, will now guide Punjab Kings’ batting unit.

Despite Jaffer’s stint as batting consultant last season, Punjab Kings failed to qualify for the IPL 2023 playoffs. The team, known for underperforming in the IPL despite their solitary final appearance in 2014, had a disappointing campaign last year.

Despite a promising start to the season, winning only six out of 14 matches left them short of making it to the playoffs. A crucial defeat against the Rajasthan Royals dashed their hopes of advancing further.

Looking ahead to IPL 2024, Punjab Kings have made significant changes. They acquired eight players in the recent IPL auction, with Indian pacer Harshal Patel being their highest-priced acquisition at Rs. 11.75 crore.
