IPL 2022: RCB to reveal new captain on March 12

The Royal Challengers also announced that the franchise's new captain will be revealed on March 12 at a mega-event at Church Street in Bangalore.

RCB icon Virat Kohli gave up the captaincy after IPL 2021, leaving the team on the lookout for a new name to lead the side. The side retained Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj apart from Kohli and the Australian is seen as an option for the role.

The Bangalore franchise also roped in experienced wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik and he is seen as a potential captain. The frontrunner for the role is South African batter Faf du Plessis, who was bought for ₹7 crores at the IPL 2022 auction.

Du Plessis is a former South Africa captain and was in stunning form in the last season of the IPL. He finished only behind Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opening partner Ruturaj Gaikwad in the race for the Orange Cap, scoring just two runs fewer than the 25-year-old Indian.

Kohli had led the IPL team since 2013 and the franchise will have a new IPL captain for the first time in close to a decade.
