RCB made it to the playoffs in IPL 2021 after finishing third on the points table with 18 points but were eliminated by Kolkata Knight Riders in the knockout stage.

Before the second leg in UAE, Virat Kohli announced that he would step down as RCB’s captain at the end of the season.

That means RCB would see a new captain after almost nine years and they will have to jostle their plans to retain their best players.
