By News Update On Dec 1, 2024

After the IPL 2025 mega auction, there is only one question revolving in the mind of every cricket fan and cricket pundit that who will captain the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the upcoming IPL season? This question is coming up because at present there is no captain option in this team except Virat Kohli. The RCB team is now without a captain and a veteran like AB de Villiers has said that Virat Kohli can captain RCB in the next season.

Now after de Villiers, Ravichandran Ashwin has also made predictions about the new captain of RCB. Ashwin believes that Virat Kohli will captain RCB in IPL 2025. The Bengaluru team decided to part ways with their captain Faf du Plessis ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction and are now looking for the next captain.

Royal Challengers Bangalore surprised everyone by not retaining Faf du Plessis on IPL 2025 retention day. With no captain in the team, the focus immediately shifted to Virat Kohli who was the highest priced retained player with a sum of Rs 21 crore and now pundits have started predicting that Kohli will be the captain of the team once again. .

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “I think Virat Kohli is going to captain that team. I think so because he has not made any decision for the captain. Unless he chooses someone else. Not going to go along. I personally think his auction was brilliant. Many teams got several crores in their purse. She brought it from the beginning. They were performing brilliantly, but despite having a lot of money, I need them. My entire team is important.

After the predictions of the veterans, it will be interesting to see whether Virat Kohli really takes charge of RCB. Virat became the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013 and led the team consistently before stepping down in 2021. For the last 3 seasons, the great player of Proteas had taken the command but now he is no more so fans are hoping that Virat Kohli will be seen as the captain once again.
