With real few weeks left for the 2022 Indian Premier League to kickstart, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is but to stammer their captain of the season. On the other hand, if sources are to be believed, senior batter Faf Du Plessis is the entrance-runner to lead the facet.
Du Plessis, who used to be equipped by RCB for Rs 7 crores in IPL 2022 auction, used to be an integral fragment of CSK since he joined them in 2012 and has received two IPL titles with the ‘Yellow Brigade’. The South African batter accumulated 2932 runs from 93 innings at the strike rate of 132.
Faf has also led South Africa in 112 fits across all codecs till 2020 and given his captaincy skills, the batter might per chance per chance seemingly also even be handed the leadership role by the RCB administration.
Particularly, Virat Kohli had launched his resolution to forestall RCB captaincy at the pause of IPL 2021. And since then there have been discussions among cricket fanatics about who might per chance per chance seemingly slot in Kohli’s shoes.
After the mega auction, Faf, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik’s names started doing the rounds. On the other hand, Maxwell’s availability within the season, attributable to non-public commitments, is in doubt. So the franchise is more seemingly to stride for either Faf or Karthik.
