Cricket fans around the world should have marked their calendars because the 2022 edition of the IPL will begin on March 26. RCB are one of the teams to keep an eye on as they continue their pursuit of the elusive trophy.
In the mega auction, Du Plessis, had been a vital cog in CSK’s line-up for a decade, purchase by RCB for INR 7 crore. Expectations are high for him because he was so impressive as South Africa’s captain. However, the Proteas batter is 37 years old, and many believe he will not be RCB’s long-term captain.

Ravi Ashwin: Virat Kohli has been under a lot of pressure as a captain in recent year
“Faf is nearing the end of his IPL career.” Perhaps he has another two to three years with him. And they’ve appointed him captain, which is a wise decision. “He brings a lot of experience, and he himself has said that we can see a bit of MS Dhoni’s touch in his captaincy skills.” Ashwin said on his official YouTube channel.
“I believe that because Virat Kohli has been under a lot of stress as a captain in the last few years, this year will be like a break for him, and they might appoint him as a captain next year,” he added. Kohli had been the RCB’s full-time captain since the 2013 season.
