RCB Teases Fans Expecting Virat Kohli To Return As Captain For IPL 2025

Virat Kohli's association with Royal Challengers Bengaluru goes way back to 2008. Similar to what MS Dhoni means or CSK, Virat Kohli holds the same stature for RCB. Virat Kohli has been associated with RCB for 16 odd years now and is the only player till this point in time to play for the same franchise in every edition. Former India captain, Virat Kohli led RCB from 2013 to 2021 and the franchise qualified for the playoffs on four occasions. They came pretty close to winning the IPL in 2016, but were outdone by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the summit clash.
