The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction ended on Monday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In which 10 teams have bought 182 players by spending Rs 639.15 crore. This time there have been many big things in the auction. Many players have surprised in this mega auction, while on the other hand some have created history that will hardly ever be broken. A big crisis has arisen against RCB after the IPL auction. But during this auction, one of the teams that cricket fans had the most attention on on both days was Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Virat Kohli’s team has not been able to win the title so far. But it was believed that this franchise would buy many strong players in the mega auction this time. The situation was opposite in the auction. The way RCB has formed the team is confusing the fans. The biggest and most important confusion in this is regarding the captaincy. Today we are going to talk about this. In fact, before the IPL auction, the Bengaluru team had released its captain Faf du Plessis. In such a situation, it was believed that this team could bet on star players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer or KL Rahul for the captaincy in the mega auction. But this did not happen. Meanwhile, now reports are coming that Virat Kohli can take over the captaincy again.
The proof of this can be seen in the team after the auction, in which no star player has been bought who can be given the captaincy. Another proof is the statement of RCB director Mo Bobat which he gave after the end of the first day of the auction. Bobat had said that the management has also left the decision of RCB’s captaincy completely to Virat Kohli. He will decide whether he will captain the team or someone else. This statement makes it clear that whoever is the captain in the team, but if the team runs, it is Kohli’s. He had said, ‘Virat is an important member of our team. He is a senior player of the team. But now we have left the decision of captaincy to him. He sent us some big messages yesterday. With this statement of Bobat, the fans have confirmed that only Kohli can take over the captaincy again. If Kohli does not take over the captaincy, then the team is looking very confused. In this, Kohli will have to take a different decision for the captaincy and hand over the command to someone. Kohli will also decide who to hand over the captaincy. This has been said by RCB director Mo Bobat himself. Now, leaving Kohli in the team, only 3 players are seen as contenders for the captaincy. These three players are star batsman Rajat Patidar, spin all-rounder Krunal Pandya and fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, if we look at these three, then Patidar’s claim seems strong among them. Although you may find this shocking. But this may also be true. The reason for this may be Patidar’s old relationship with RCB and Kohli’s trust. Now let’s see what happens.
