RCB captain 2022 announcement date: Who is the new captain of RCB in 2022 IPL?

RCB captain 2022 announcement date: RCB remain the lone amongst the ten franchises who have not named their captain for the upcoming season.

The Cricketing fraternity is mere couple of weeks away from the commencement of yet another season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which would kick-start with the opening encounter featuring the last season finalists-CSK and KKR on March 26 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

The schedule and fixtures of the league stages have been announced by the BCCI, with Mumbai and Pune to host the teams across four venues.

With teams having already announced their respective captains for the season, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) remain the lone franchise who are yet to name one.

With Virat Kohli having relinquished his post as skipper of the franchise last year, fans are expecting their another retained player-Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, who has been leading Melbourne Stars in BBL for quite some years too, as the most-suited man to take up the role with the team going forward.

A costly acquisition of former Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis in the side, has also made him a fitting option to shoulder the captaincy responsibility.
