RCB made the exciting announcement on their official social media platform. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the franchise revealed, "Big news alert! We are thrilled to announce that Omkar Salvi, the current Head Coach of Mumbai, has been named as RCB's Bowling Coach. With an impressive record of winning the Ranji Trophy, Irani Trophy, and the IPL in the past 8 months, Omkar is eager to bring his expertise to our team for #IPL2025, once he wraps up his duties in the ongoing Indian domestic season."

Earlier this year, RCB had appointed wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has their batting coach and mentor for the 2025 season. Kartik and Salvi have worked together in the past for KKR.

For the unversed, Omkar Salvi is the brother of former India pacer Avishkar Salvi. The 46-year-old is viewed as one of the great coaches going around in the Indian domestic circuit.

Who is Omkar Salvi?

Salvi's stint with RCB will not be his first time working for an IPL franchise. He has earlier had a stint with KKR as an assistant bowling coach.

The past two-three years have proven to be like gold dust for Omkar Salvi, as he under his reins, Mumbai first won the Ranji Trophy in the 2023-24 season, and then the side also picked up the Irani Cup title.

Omkar Salvi just played 1 List A match in his playing career. In his first and last game for Railways, Salvi took one wicket and conceded 36 runs against Madhya Pradesh.

It was in May 2023 that Salvi was appointed as Mumbai's head coach for the senior men's team. At that time, Omkar Salvi had replaced domestic stalwart Amol Muzumdar.

He had previously worked with Mumbai as the bowling coach.

Over the years, Salvi has made a name for himself for going about his work behind the scenes.
