新王カプタン? RCBはIPLオークションでファフ・デュ・プレシスを無視したため、ヴィラト・コーリがキャプテン権の唯一のオプションとなった

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) find themselves in an intriguing position as former captain Faf du Plessis moves to Delhi Capitals for a modest ₹2 crore in the IPL 2025 auction, leaving the franchise with limited captaincy options. This now hints at Virat Kohli’s potential return to the leadership role he relinquished in 2021.

The Bengaluru-based franchise’s decision to neither retain nor bid for du Plessis has been under question, especially considering the South African’s successful tenure that saw RCB reach the playoffs in two out of three seasons under his leadership. With most established captaincy candidates already secured by other franchises, all signs point toward a possible Kohli comeback as captain.
