As Virat Kohli had announced his decision to quit RCB captaincy at the end of IPL 2021, fans of the team are eagerly waiting to know the name of the next captain.

Three names are making rounds. They are Faf Du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik. However, as Maxwell’s availability in the season is in doubt, the franchise is most likely to select Faf or Karthik.

While Karthik played for RCB in 2015 and led KKR earlier, Faf had tremendous experience in leading South Africa.
