As the franchise gears up for the 18th edition of the tournament, Kohli’s arrival has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see him back in action.
RCB kick-starts preparations for IPL 2025
RCB, who will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the season opener on March 22 at Eden Gardens, has begun its pre-season training. Kohli’s return to the camp comes at a crucial time as the team looks to build momentum before the tournament. The former RCB captain, who won the Orange Cap last year as the league’s leading run-scorer, will be aiming to replicate his stellar performances this season.
New leadership, same intent
With Rajat Patidar appointed as RCB’s new captain, the franchise enters a new era. Kohli, who led the team for nearly a decade before stepping down in 2021, will continue to play a key role as a senior figure in the squad. His presence adds immense value, not just with the bat but also in mentoring the younger players.
Fans react to Kohli’s return
RCB’s social media handles set the internet abuzz by sharing pictures of Kohli’s tattooed hand, prompting fans to instantly recognize their icon. The cryptic yet creative post only heightened anticipation for his return, with supporters flooding the comments with excitement.
As the IPL 2025 season draws closer, all eyes will be on Kohli to see if he can once again lead RCB’s charge with his batting brilliance. With a fresh leadership setup and Kohli in top form, RCB will be aiming for their maiden IPL title this year.
