5 players who played for and later coached the same IPL team

4.Daniel Vettori

Daniel Vettori played for two seasons at the RCB

The New Zealand left-arm spinner was picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2011 season and was also named the captain of the team that year.

After playing for two seasons for the RCB, Vettori was appointed the head coach of the side ahead of the 2014 season and that call backfired as the Virat Kohli-led side finished 7th on the table.

However, the following year, the team staged a superb recovery to get the Playoffs of the competition, where they lost to the Chennai Super Kings. But it was last year that Vettori really transformed the RCB along with Kohli.

Stuck in a situation, where they had to win every game to make it into the knockouts, he galvanised the side from behind to inspire them to the final where they came second best to the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
