So Kohli can become captain!
Even before the mega auction, there were speculations that Virat Kohli could be seen captaining RCB once again. Kohli left the captaincy of RCB in the year 2021. Now AB de Villiers said on his YouTube channel about the new captain of RCB that after looking at the team, I think Virat Kohli will captain. However, this has not been confirmed yet.
RCB looks a very balanced team
De Villiers further said, “We missed some opportunities in the auction.” We could have bought Rabada but that didn’t happen but we got Lungi Ngidi. Apart from this we bought Bhuvneshwar Kumar, I am happy with Josh Hazlewood. But we also missed R Ashwin, due to which Ashwin again moved to Chennai Super Kings. Overall, RCB looks a very balanced team, I am very happy with it. However, we are still missing a match-winning spinner.
