Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) dream of winning the IPL title has been shattered once again. On Wednesday, May 22, in the Eliminator of IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals defeated RCB by 4 wickets and made their place in Qualifier 2. After this defeat, the RCB players looked very disappointed and sad.

Meanwhile, former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop feels that Andy Flower is the man who will guide RCB well in the next few seasons of IPL. Andy Flower left the camp of Lucknow Super Giants and joined RCB this time. He replaced head coach Sanjay Bangar.

It was under his leadership that Royal Challengers Bangalore made a strong comeback in the second half after a disappointing performance in the first half. Let us tell you that RCB had won only one match out of the first 8 matches. However, after this, Faf du Plessis’s team made its place in the playoffs by winning 6 consecutive matches.

Ian Bishop gave a bold statement after RCB’s defeat

Now after the defeat against Rajasthan Royals, Ian Bishop feels that Andy Flower is the right candidate who will take RCB forward in the next few seasons. Ian Bishop tweeted on May 23, ‘I believe that if anyone can take RCB forward over the next few seasons, it is Andy Flower.’

I believe that if anyone can take RCB forward in the next couple of seasons, it is Andy Flower.
