Players Who Can Replace Faf Du Plessis as RCB Captain : After Virat Kohli, Royal Challengers Bangalore made Faf du Plessis its captain. However, he also failed to win the title for the team. Even in IPL 2024, RCB is struggling to reach the playoffs. At the same time, the performance of captain Faf du Plessis has also not been that good this season. In such a situation, RCB management can also release him before the mega auction of IPL 2025 and make another player the captain in his place.
As a replacement for Faf du Plessis, some players will be found in the current RCB team and some options will be available during the auction. We tell you about 3 such players who can replace Faf du Plessis in RCB as captain.
1.Kane Williamson
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is currently a part of Gujarat Titans in the IPL. However, he is not getting a chance to play there and due to this the Gujarat team can also release him. In such a situation, RCB can buy him during the auction and appoint him as their captain. Sunrisers had reached the finals under the leadership of Kane Williamson and that is why RCB can have confidence in him.
2.Rajat Patidar
Rajat Patidar is a young player and is a part of RCB since IPL 2022. He had shown tremendous performance in his debut season and that is why the franchise has continuously expressed confidence in him. If RCB wants to appoint a captain keeping the future in mind, then Rajat Patidar can be a great option. The team can do much better under the leadership of a young captain.
3.KL Rahul
Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants had made it to the playoffs twice but after poor performance in IPL 2024, he had a dispute with team owner Sanjiv Goenka. After this, speculations started that he might leave the Lucknow team. If this happens then RCB can buy him and declare him as their next captain. KL Rahul has played for RCB before and also has a lot of captaincy experience. In such a situation, he would be an excellent option.
