The IPL 2022 auction has been concluded in Bengaluru, and all the eyes are on the mega event. The tournament will be hosted by Pune and Mumbai this season.
Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the most popular franchises of the IPL, but they have not won a title yet. They received a major blow when Virat Kohli left the captaincy, but he is obviously retained. Glenn Maxwell has been one of the most inconsistent players of the IPL, but he is always in the demand. However, the way he played for RCB in the last season was exceptional, and he is retained as well. Mohammad Siraj is someone who has revived his career with the white ball, and retaining him was also not a tough decision.
Who is the captain of RCB in IPL 2022
Virat Kohli left the captaincy last season, and he is obviously not a choice. Glenn Maxwell has been retained by the side, and he leads Melbourne Stars in BBL. Although, the record of Maxi as a captain is not that great, but he is certainly an option.
Faf du Plessis has been bought by RCB in the auction, and he can be another option. Plessis was the 2nd highest scorer of IPL 2021, whereas he has also led South Africa on the international stage. He is looking in fine form in the ongoing BPL as well. Dinesh Karthik also has an outside chance, Karthik was signed as a captain by KKR in 2018. He although was sacked during the IPL 2020.
Faf is excited to be in the red and gold of RCB 🗣️
