Former Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara will continue to be the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024. Sangakkara joined the Rajasthan team management in 2021 as the Director of Cricket Operations and took over the responsibilities of head coach after Andrew McDonald parted ways with the franchise ahead of IPL 2021.
Rajasthan Royals who won the inaugural IPL have failed to repeat their antics of 2008 so far. Under head coach Sangakkara’s guidance, RR will be looking to clinch the title this time around.
RR will play their opening match of the IPL 2024 against the Lucknow Super Giants. Sanju Samson and Co. will be looking to win their opening clash to be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

RR batting coach
Rajasthan Royals do not have a batting coach appointed in their camp. For RR, Amol Muzumdar was the last person to be in charge as batting coach in IPL 2020. After the appointment of Sangakkara, the veteran batter seems to take care of the role alongside his head coach duties.
RR bowling coach
Veteran kiwi pacer Shane Bond will replace Lasith Malinga as Rajasthan Royals bowling coach in IPL 2024. Bond will also serve as assistant coach in the RR camp.
I’m delighted to be joining the Royals. It’s a forward-thinking franchise that is determined to do well and I’m excited about being part of their vision. The bowling group is a great mix of youth and experience, and it will be awesome to work alongside them,” said Bond via a press release.
RR fielding coach
Former Rajasthan Royals wicket-keeper Dishant Yagnik is the fielding coach of the team for IPL 2024. He was appointed in this role in 2018 and this will be his sixth straight season with the inaugural IPL champions in their coaching staff.
