Virat Kohli to return to captaincy? Indications that star player has given consent

BENGALURU: Former India captain Virat Kohli failed to perform well in the two Test matches against New Zealand. Kohli scored only 88 runs in four innings. While Kohli's performance has caused a lot of trouble to his fans, another exciting news is coming out. Royal Challengers Bangalore are going to pick a new captain for the IPL 2025 season. The team needs a new captain as the current captain, former South Africa player Faf du Plessis, has turned 40. The team management has taken a firm decision in this regard. RCB will be led by Virat Kohli himself.

Kohli was the captain of RCB from 2013 to 2021. Kohli stepped down as captain of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise days after he stepped down as India captain in 2021. Faf du Plessis was the captain from 2022 until this year. However, RCB have not been able to win the cup in any season so far. Under Kohli's brilliance, RCB managed to reach the playoffs for four seasons and reach the final in 2016. They competed against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final but it was Sunrisers who won. Former captain Virat Kohli took over as the captain after the RCB management held discussions with players including Shubman Gill.
