RCB: RCB has included many players in the IPL mega auction. But it is not clear who will be given the command of the team. Because the team has not given responsibility to anyone as captain. But it is being speculated that Virat Kohli or Bhuvneshwar Kumar can get the captaincy once again. There is a lot of discussion about Bhuvneshwar’s name regarding captaincy. But now a new name has been added to this list, which the franchise can surprise by making the captain.
This player can become the new captain of RCB
Let us tell you that in IPL 2025, once again the command of RCB was expected to go on the shoulders of Virat Kohli, because he has a lot of experience in captaincy and this team. He has taken the team to the finals in 2016. But now his name is not being discussed, nor is Bhuvneshwar Kumar coming forward in this race. Apart from these two, the franchise can decide to give the command of the team to Krunal Pandya. Bangalore has bought Krunal for Rs 5 crore.
Krunal Pandya may get the captaincy
RCB can give the responsibility of captaincy to Krunal Pandya in the IPL mega auction. Let us tell you that Pandya is not a bad choice as a captain. Because he has good captaincy experience. He has previously captained LSG and led it to the playoffs in 2023.
While captaining Baroda in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he led his team to the finals last season, when his team lost to Punjab in the final. In such a situation, it is clear that Krunal has a good experience of captaincy. He is continuously leading the Baroda team in domestic cricket, so the team can look at him as an option.
How has Krunal’s performance been in IPL so far
Talking about Krunal Pandya’s batting in IPL, he has scored 1627 runs. His run scoring average in this has been 33.25. Krunal’s highest score in IPL is 61 runs. Talking about his bowling, Krunal has taken 76 wickets.
