IPL 2022: Virat Kohli on Faf du Plessis leading RCB in IPL 2022

Faf du Plessis was acquired by RCB for INR 7 crores in the IPL 2022 mega auction last month and was handed the reins of the RCB team.

Speaking of Du Plessis' appointment as RCB skipper, Virat Kohli in a video shared by RCB said, "Getting Faf at the auctions for us, the plan was very clear. We need a leader in the change room who commands a lot of respect. Commands, not demands, because he has been there done that. He's a Test captain, that profile comes with a lot of accolades already and we are excited for him to lead RCB. He will do a tremendous job. We get along really well with him, all of us - myself, Maxi (Glenn Maxwell) Dinesh Karthik and I think all the guys will enjoy this tournament."
