IPL: World Cup winning former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has given great advice to Virat Kohli. He said that if the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team does not qualify for the playoffs of the IPL 2024 season, then Kohli should take over the captaincy of the team in the next season. The performance of RCB team has not been that good this season. Under the captaincy of Faf Duplessis, the team has won only 6 out of 13 matches. However, his hopes of reaching the playoffs are still alive.
Harbhajan said that RCB should consider bringing back Virat Kohli as their captain. The franchise will benefit from the former Indian captain leading the team. Faf du Plessis is leading RCB from the start of the 2022 season. After this the team made it to the playoffs.
Virat resigns in 2021
Virat Kohli captained RCB from 2013 to 2021 and during this period the team managed to reach the finals once. RCB has not been able to win the title yet. Virat Kohli, who led the team for more than a decade, resigned from the captaincy after the 2021 season.
What did Harbhajan say?
According to Harbhajan, if RCB is unable to qualify for the playoffs, then the team should consider making an Indian player the captain. Then why was Virat Kohli not made the captain? Virat is a big leader, he knows what kind of cricket he needs to play. I want to see Kohli moving forward and captaining the team.
