Before naming a new captain for the next Indian Premier League season, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were spoiled for options. The franchise’s leadership group included Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik, with the potential of Virat Kohli resuming the role. Faf du Plessis, though, was chosen the team’s new captain on Saturday.
RCB standout player and wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik believes Faf du Plessis will be the finest choice for captain after Virat Kohli quit. Faf du Plessis’ international experience and ability to play in a variety of environments help the team’s development in all areas.

Dinesh Karthik, who was anticipated to succeed Kohli, praised du Plessis’ choice and emphasised the South African’s captaincy abilities.

“He’s the best person for the job. He’s reached the point in his career where he’s ready to take charge. He’s been a part of the IPL for a while now. He’s taking his time to get to know the young players, and his hitting ability is also a significant asset. He’s one of our team’s most charismatic members. He has a lot of experience playing for his country and is also a fantastic tactician. Faf is an excellent choice for RCB at this moment, and they have made the correct decision “In an interview, Karthik said

Shane Warne comes to mind when you think of overseas captains. Punjab also benefited from George Bailey’s efforts. As a captain, Eoin Morgan was fantastic, based on personal experience. He was an excellent tactician with a unique perspective on the game. I can’t predict how Faf will turn out straight away.

Faf Du Plessis explains his leadership style as a captain:

Chairman Prathmesh Mishra and director cricket operations Mike Hesson presented Du Plessis with the cap. “Obviously, as an outsider, I’m glad for the opportunity,” he said of his new position.

“I’ve had a lot of experience with the Indian Premier League (IPL). I understand the dynamics, and it’s no little matter to put one’s faith in an outsider who is an international player to lead.”

Bangalore will play Punjab Kings in Mumbai on March 27 in the first match of their IPL campaign.
