IPL Records: Even before the IPL 2025 mega auction, RCB team had retained Virat Kohli in its team for Rs 21 crore. After this decision, rumors arose that Virat could take over the captaincy of RCB again. Although, no official statement has come out yet on this, but Virat's close friend and former RCB player AB de Villiers has said that looking at the condition of the team, Virat Kohli can become the captain.
Virat Kohli had made it clear even before IPL 2022 that he would leave the captaincy of RCB. After this Faf du Plessis was made the captain. Now in IPL 2025, Faf du Plessis will be seen playing in the Delhi Capitals team. In such a situation, the question arises whether Virat Kohli will captain RCB again?
It is difficult to break this record of Dhoni
Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, RCB played 143 matches, out of which it won 66 matches. He is the only player so far who has played more than 100 matches as captain of RCB. Under his captaincy, RCB's winning percentage has been 46.15%.
Whereas MS Dhoni started captaining Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2008 and captained the team in 235 matches till 2023. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, CSK became IPL champion 5 times. Dhoni led his team to victory in a total of 142 matches. It is clear that it is very difficult for Virat Kohli to break Dhoni's record.
Therefore, if Virat Kohli captains RCB then it can prove to be good for him and the team. But it will not be easy for him to surpass Dhoni's record.
