Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are looking for a captain for the 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Virat Kohli had relinquished the captaincy after last season. Kohli captained RCB in 140 matches, but could never make the team champions. The team reached the playoffs in 2015, 2020 and 2021.

Rishabh Pant got the captaincy in his place. The team performed well under Pant's captaincy. Due to this, he was retained as captain in the second leg in UAE as well. Iyer was upset over not getting the captaincy back. He decided to part ways with Delhi after the season ended. He will be in the auction this time and RCB's eyes will be on him.

In such a situation, the team can buy Warner and make him the captain.Steve Smith: Former Australia captain Steve Smith has captained Rajasthan Royals in IPL.
