After Auction day 1 there were so many shocking transfers that happened. RCB also roped in some of the players. But the biggest question mark for the RCB franchise is who will the captain the side as Virat Kohli has already told that he won\u2019t be captaining Bangalore anymore. The candidates who can be the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore after the first day of mega auction are: \u2013<\/p>\n
1) Faf du Plessis:<\/strong> RCB successfully roped in Faf du Plessis for INR 7 crore on day 1 of the IPL Mega Auction. Faf seems to be the best candidate to captain RCB. Faf has had a successful run being South Africa\u2019s captain in the past. Faf\u2019s experience and oversight can help RCB reach wonders; he can also bring balance to the side with his tactical approach.<\/p>\n 2) Dinesh Karthik:<\/strong> Dinesh Karthik was roped in on Day 1 of the IPL 2022 Auction for INR 5.5 crore by RCB. Karthik has been a fantastic captain for Kolkata Knight Riders. In IPL 2018, KKR bought in Karthik to lead the team in the season, replacing the all-time great captain of KKR, Gautam Gambhir. In his first year of captaincy, Karthik led the team to the playoffs and showed immense experience and passion throughout the season. Karthik also captains Tamil Nadu and seems like another probable candidate to captain RCB in Tata IPL 2022.<\/p>\n 3) Glenn Maxwell:<\/strong> Glenn Maxwell was the second pick of RCB in the retention window. They retained Maxwell for a whopping amount of INR 11 crore. Maxwell has been captaining Melbourne Stars in BBL in the past couple of years and has some experience in the role. Also speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Daniel Vettori said that Glenn Maxwell was retained to be the potential captain of RCB. Vettori also mentioned that Maxwell possesses an energetic personality and is a guy who leads from the front. Vettori\u2019s statement and Maxwell\u2019s experience as a captain make Maxwell another prominent option to captain RCB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the end of last season, Virat Kohli announced that he would step down as a captain after IPL 2021.
