Not Virat Kohli, this player becomes the new captain of RCB, has been out of Team India after playing 2 ODIs.

IPL 2025: There are still a few months left for the start of IPL 2025. But even before this, its preparations are in full swing. In this series, a mega auction was organized in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In which there was huge bidding on the players. Amidst all this, news is coming that Royal Challengers Bangalore has announced its new captain. Let us tell you, this captain is not opener Virat Kohli but someone else. So let us know who RCB has made its new captain….

It is being claimed in many media reports about Team India's opening batsman Virat Kohli that he can once again take charge of RCB in IPL 2025. This is believed to be because the team reached the playoffs four times under his captaincy. If King Kohli refuses the captaincy for any reason then the team can hand over the captaincy to all-rounder Krunal Pandya.

Have handled the command of the team before also

The talk of making Pandya the captain is also being raised because captaincy in IPL and domestic circuit is not a new thing for him. Let us tell you, he played for Lucknow Super Giants last year and then he took over the captaincy of LSG in the absence of regular captain KL Rahul. Krunal's record as a captain in the domestic circuit is also excellent. In such a situation, it is believed that for IPL 2025, RCB can rely on Krunal Pandya in place of King Kohli.

How was your IPL career?

Talking about Krunal Pandya's IPL career, he has so far participated in 127 IPL matches, in which he has scored 1,647 runs at a strike rate of 132.82 and taken 76 wickets at an economy rate of 7.36. Overall, he has played 200 matches in T-20, in which he has scored 2,757 runs with his bat, while he has 139 wickets in his account.
