Virat Kohli zmieni stanowisko kapitana i poprowadzi RCB w IPL 2025: raport

Virat Kohli will return as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain for the IPL 2025 season. The star batter, who’s carried RCB for years, stepped down as captain after the IPL 2021 season. It wasn’t just the league, but Kohli had given up the white-call captaincy of India by the end of 2021, and early in 2022, he chose to quit as Test captain as well. 

Kohli the captain, to return

However, he’s ready to take a U-turn on that decision now. According to the Times of India, Kohli will take over from Faf du Plessis as RCB’s captain. The management discussed the leadership of the franchise with Kohli, and given that the current captain, Faf, is 40, the former skipper has decided that he’ll step up in RCB’s time of need. 

What happens to Faf?

Kohli was RCB’s regular captain from 2013 to 2021 and even got them close to winning the title in 2016, but it wasn’t to be. He’s continued to be an inspiration to everyone despite not being the de facto captain and will not reprise the role once again. What’s now to be seen is what’ll happen with Faf du Plessis and what Kohli, who’s been struggling this year post the IPL 2024 season, will do when he returns as captain.
