IPL 2022 / After leaving the captaincy of Virat, RCB did not get a new captain, these three players are strong contenders to take over the command

The players auction process for IPL 2022 has been completed and all the franchises have prepared their squads. After the mega auction, there have been many major changes in all the teams. Along with the reshuffle of players, the captains of many teams have also changed. Although eight out of 10 franchises have announced the names of their captains, Punjab and Bangalore have not yet revealed any names. Virat Kohli, who was the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time, stepped down from the captaincy after last season and since then the franchise has not yet selected a new leader. There have been major changes in the team, so it is expected that the captain will be announced soon. Let us know about the three players who are strong contenders for captaincy.

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik, who was the captain of Indian cricketer and Kolkata Knight Riders, has been added by RCB this time. The 36-year-old Karthik is an experienced player as well as a wicket-keeper batsman. He has a great understanding of cricket and has proved it many times while captaining in two seasons with KKR. Karthik has a good experience of playing multiple teams in IPL and can play the role of finisher very well. Karthik was bought by RCB for a whopping sum of Rs 5.50 crore.

Faf du Plessis

Former South African captain Faf du Plessis will play for RCB this season. Du Plessis, who has been a part of Chennai Super Kings for a long time, has a good IPL experience. He has impressed a lot with his game as well as playing many match-winning innings in the IPL. Faf knows how to mold himself according to the situation. This is the reason why RCB beat CSK and bought him for Rs 7 crore.

Glen Maxwell

Team all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is also one of the big contenders for the new captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Maxwell was retained by RCB for 11 crores before the auction. Maxwell scored 513 runs in 15 matches while performing tremendously in IPL 2021. Maxwell, who bowled explosively as well as off-spin, also had the experience of playing for many teams in the IPL. He is one of Australia's star cricketers and has been a part of the two-time World Cup winning team. Not only this, he has also led Melbourne Stars in Australia's famous Big Bash League. Keeping these qualities in mind, the team can also bet on Maxwell.
