Virat Kohli is set to reclaim the captaincy of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the 2025 IPL season, as reported by The Times of India. The decision comes as Faf du Plessis, who led RCB from 2022 to 2024, steps down due to age considerations. Kohli, a loyal RCB player since 2008, will be aiming to end RCB’s title drought in the IPL.
Following the T20 World Cup victory and his retirement from T20I cricket, Kohli’s return as RCB captain brings renewed hope for fans. RCB management sees Kohli as the best choice to lead the team amid the upcoming mega auction. While the franchise had shown interest in players like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, they’ve opted to rely on Kohli’s leadership to bring them closer to the elusive IPL trophy in 2025.
