Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Coming in at No. 7, he made an unbeaten hundred against Zimbabwe, in just his second Test match. Another notable performance from Bangar with the bat in Tests is his gritty 68 opening the innings against England at Headingley in 2002. His knock provided the rest of the batsmen the platform to post a huge score and India went on to win by an innings. Unfortunately, Bangar did not play more than 12 Tests as the selectors decided not to invest in him after 2002.
Bangar made his ODI debut against England at Chennai in 2002 and grabbed eyeballs on November 15, the same year. India were chasing a mammoth total in the 4th ODI at Ahmedabad. Walking in at No. 7, Bangar batted aggressively to score a fifty under pressure to help India pull off a thriller. However, his form dipped soon after and he played the occasional ODI, before featuring for one last time in 2004.
Bangar went back to the domestic circuit and continued to be an integral part of the Railways setup. In fact, he became the captain of the side and led them to victory in the 2004-05 season. He played for the Deccan Chargers in the inaugural edition of the IPL, before representing the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2009.
He was named as India-A coach, before becoming the batting coach of IPL side Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 2010. He was given the coaching role by Kings XI Punjab in 2014, for whom he bought some quality players at the 2014 auctions. The team went all the way to the final of IPL-7. In fact, Virender Sehwag, who was a regular member of the Punjab setup, went on to say, \"Bangar is as calm as Gary (Kirsten),\" when asked about his coach.
Bangar is currently the batting coach of India's national cricket team.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
One of the gutsiest allrounders in Indian domestic cricket, Bangar was a lucky mascot for the Indian Test team during his year-long run at international cricket. Barring his last two Tests in New Zealand, India didn't lose any of the 12 Tests he featured in, even registering three rare overseas victories.
While Bangar will be remembered for his 68 at the top of the order in the Headlingley Test in 2002 that paved way for the famous trio of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Sourav Ganguly to score centuries and set up India's victory, he ended his two-decade first-class career as one of the most prolific allrounders in domestic cricket. When he retired, Bangar was one of only two cricketers to achieve the double of 6,000 runs and 200 wickets in the Ranji Trophy, alongside Vijay Hazare. Bangar led the Railways team to three domestic titles and was one of the pillars behind the team's transition from also-rans to a domestic force.
Post retirement, Bangar took up coaching. He was initially in charge of the India A side and a consultant at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, before he was called up to the Indian team after the Test series leg of their tour of England in 2014 as the batting coach. He would stay with the Indian team over a five-year uninterrupted period. The highlights of his coaching tenure were Virat Kohli's ceiling-breaking feats in Test and ODI cricket, the rise of Rohit Sharma as an ODI behemoth, and a first-ever overseas Test series win in Australia.
Bangar also had a stint as the head coach of Kings XI Punjab, who reached the IPL 2014 final under his tenure, which remains their best-ever result in the competition.
