IPL 2022: Virat Kohli will not take over as RCB captain again, says Daniel Vettori
A few weeks left for the Indian Premier League 2022 season to get underway, all the eyes are on Royal Challengers Bangalore as they are the only franchise that is yet to name a captain. Even as new teams Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans announced their captain days ahead of the auction, RCB has remained tight-lipped. Speculation is rife that either Glenn Maxwell or Faf du Plessis will be considered for the role that Virat Kohli quit after the end of the IPL 2021 season.
Notably, a lot has changed since the last year’s T20 World Cup as Kohli not only quit as T20I captain but was also sacked as ODI captain before he stepped down from the role of the Test captain. However, former RCB captain Daniel Vettori said Virat Kohli made the right decision by moving on from the role. However, RCB retained Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj but the addition of former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has given more options to the management in terms of leadership. RCB will begin their campaign against Punjab Kings at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on March 27.
