Will Virat Kohli Return as RCB Captain in IPL 2025? Franchise Official Weighs In

With IPL 2025 fast approaching, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is gearing up for a new era after parting ways with Faf du Plessis as captain. However, the biggest question on every fan’s mind remains: Will Virat Kohli reclaim the captaincy?

While the franchise hasn’t made any official announcement, speculation is running high that Kohli, who stepped down as RCB captain in 2021, could make a comeback in the leadership role.

RCB COO’s Take on Captaincy for IPL 2025

Addressing the rumors, RCB COO Rajesh Menon provided an update in a recent interview with Sports Tak.

“Currently, we have not decided anything. We have multiple leaders in the team—around four to five players. We haven’t deliberated on what we need to do yet. We will discuss it and come to a conclusion.”

His statement leaves the door open for Kohli but also hints that other candidates are being considered. RCB’s IPL 2025 squad features key signings like Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, Tim David, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Devdutt Padikkal, adding depth to their leadership options. With RCB still chasing their first-ever IPL title, the franchise’s next move will be crucial.

Meanwhile, Kohli’s much-anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy after 12 years didn’t go as planned. Playing for Delhi, he managed just 6 runs off 15 balls in his first innings against Railways, disappointing fans who were eager to see him dominate at the domestic level.

Up next, the star batter will be seen in action during India’s ODI series against England, where fans will hope for a strong comeback.
