RR have appointed Lasith Malinga as their fast bowling coach ahead of IPL 2022. Malinga, who retired as a player in 2021, is the highest wicket-taker in IPL. "It's a wonderful feeling for me to return to IPL and an absolute honour to join RR," Malinga said. Further, Paddy Upton, who has worked for RR before, returns as 'Team Catalyst'.
