Virat Kohli Could Return as Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain in IPL 2025
The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are looking to revamp their leadership for the upcoming IPL season. With the 2025 IPL set to be a critical year, former RCB star AB de Villiers has hinted at the potential return of Virat Kohli as captain. Kohli, who had stepped down as captain after IPL 2021, could take over the reins again, as RCB aims for their elusive first IPL title.
Kohli’s previous tenure as captain saw the team reach the playoffs several times, but a title remained out of reach. The team’s struggles, especially their lack of a standout spinner, have raised concerns. However, with the right leadership, many believe Kohli could steer the team to glory.
RCB fans have been clamoring for his return to the captaincy, as the team’s last few seasons have been inconsistent. His leadership style, aggressive batting, and experience could give RCB the much-needed boost. However, whether the franchise decides to bring him back as captain remains to be seen, especially as the IPL undergoes more dynamic changes, with new player acquisitions and strategies.
If Kohli does return to lead RCB, it will be an emotional moment for fans, as they rally behind their captain once again in hopes of ending the team’s title drought. With many teams in the IPL looking to strengthen their squads, RCB’s decisions this offseason could set the stage for a thrilling IPL 2025.
