IPL 2025 might bring a wave of excitement for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans as rumors suggest that Virat Kohli could return as the team's captain. RCB has been chasing the dream of winning the IPL title for the past 17 seasons. Despite their energetic campaigns and slogans like "Ee Sala Cup Namde," the trophy has remained elusive.
RCB's Recent Performance
Last season, RCB played 14 matches but managed to win only 7, leading to discussions about a possible change in leadership. Current captain Faf du Plessis is now 39 years old, raising doubts about his availability for the next season.
Kohli's Potential Comeback
Virat Kohli, having stepped down from T20 international cricket and relinquished the captaincy of the Indian team, is now free from these responsibilities. This opens up the possibility of him returning as RCB's captain. Kohli previously stepped down from the RCB captaincy due to the burden of leading both the national team and the franchise.
Kohli's Captaincy Record
Kohli led RCB in 143 matches, winning 66 of them. Under his leadership, RCB reached the finals in 2016 and made it to the playoffs three times. With Kohli now free from international captaincy duties, fans and experts believe he could take on the role of RCB captain once again.
What This Means for RCB
If Kohli returns as captain, it could reinvigorate the team and bring fresh hope for their IPL title aspirations. RCB fans are eagerly waiting to see if the "King Kohli" will lead their team in IPL 2025.
