IPL-2025: Faf du Plessis, the current captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, has been leading the team for the last three seasons. However, this time there is uncertainty regarding his captaincy, because he is now 40 years old. The franchise will keep the next three years in mind while selecting new players in the upcoming auction, in such a situation, Du Plessis's selection in the team again seems difficult. Even if he joins, he will be 43 years old by the time of the final season. In such a situation, it is believed that Kohli may once again take command of RCB.
Before the auction, there are also discussions that the RCB franchise is considering including KL Rahul in the team. However, considering his past record, the management is unlikely to hand him the captaincy. Rahul's record as a captain has not been very good, hence RCB hardly seems likely to get success in the future under his leadership.
Possibilities of Virat Kohli's comeback
According to such reports, if RCB does not find any better captaincy option till the auction, then Virat Kohli is ready to take charge of the team once again. It has been revealed in a video of ESPN Cricinfo that Kohli has expressed his desire to the management. He has said that if needed, he can take over the captaincy again for a season.
Virat Kohli is very keen to return as RCB Captain again. ❤️🔥

Kohli's captaincy experience
Kohli captained RCB from 2013 to 2021. During this period, he also took the team to the finals once, but the dream of winning the title could not be fulfilled. Given his experience and leadership abilities, it is possible that he will once again take the team's expectations to greater heights. After this decision of Virat Kohli, his fans are eagerly waiting to see him once again under the captaincy of RCB.
