Left the captaincy in 2021
Virat Kohli has captained Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time. In the year 2021, he was given the responsibility of captain. Under his leadership, the team’s performance was excellent and the team was successful in reaching the finals twice. Under his leadership, Bangalore has played a total of 114 matches, out of which the team managed to win 68 matches. Whereas in 72 matches, it had to face defeat. Along with this, let us tell you that Virat Kohli left the captaincy after RCB suffered a humiliating defeat in the playoffs in IPL 2021.
This player can get the vice-captaincy
It is worth noting that it is expected that Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar can get the responsibility of vice-captain. Although no information has been received about the vice-captain of RCB. But keeping in mind Bhuvi’s experience, the franchise can decide to appoint him as the vice-captain. He has played the role of captain in IPL. He led the team in eight matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad. During this time, the team could win only two matches, while they had to face defeat in six matches.
