IPL 2022: New RCB Captain Revealed.

Faf du Plessis has been named the new Skipper of the Royal Challengers Bangalore for IPL 2022 beginning March 26, the organisation uncovered on Saturday during the RCB Unbox occasion in Bengaluru. Du Plessis, who until last year was a part of Chennai Super Kings, was gotten by RCB for ₹7 crore at the IPL mega auction last month. The theories said before Virat Kohli, who ventured down as RCB's skipper toward the finish of last season, will get back to lead.

Du Plessis leaves behind Australian Glenn Maxwell and India's Dinesh Karthik in the race, both of whom were solid contender to lead the side. While Maxwell and Karthik are adequately capable, it was presumably du Plessis' insight of driving South Africa that gave him the edge in front of the other two.

He captained South Africa in 115 internationals out of which the nation won multiple times. South Africa won 25 of the 40 T20Is played under du Plessis. In February of 2020, du Plessis surrendered South Africa's captaincy across designs however RCB saw a lot of significant worth in him to give him charge of the side.

Du Plessis took over South Africa's Test captaincy in 2016 which reached out to all designs a year after the fact. Of late, he has been neglected by South Africa, in any event, passing up a spot in the crew for the T20 World Cup a year ago. This was after du Plessis had consumed the outlines in IPL 2021, getting done with 633 runs, only two behind the Orange Cap victor Ruturaj Gaikwad. As a matter of fact, du Plessis had been in fine scratch for CSK the last two or three seasons, scoring north of 1000 runs in IPL 2020 and 2021 consolidated.
