Former Lucknow Super Giants coach, Andy Flower, is reportedly a leading candidate to take on the role of head coach at Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), succeeding the current Director of Cricket, Mike Hesson, and head coach Sanjay Bangar. Hesson and Bangar are expected to conclude their contracts with the franchise on August 31, with indications pointing toward non-renewal.

Recent developments suggest that Flower's negotiations with the Bengaluru-based RCB are in the final stages, with a potential contract spanning multiple years.
