Xtra Time Web Desk : The Indian Premier League 2022 Mega Auction is scheduled to take place on February 12 and 13 in Bangalore. Thus the franchises are preparing in full flow to set up a competitive team for the upcoming season of the mega tournament.
And Royal Challengers Bangalore are no different from the other franchises. Especially with Virat Kohli stepping down from the franchise’s captaincy duties, the team will look forward to building a new core group. And now, on the above matter, former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh has given his reviews.
Despite having many big names, RCB is a team who is yet to lift the title. AB de Villiers won’t play this season and Kohli has stepped down from captaincy… so they need to find a captain now. Among Indians, Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are the two names who can efficiently lead the team. Shreyas has already shown his captaincy prowess while leading the Delhi franchise. But I think Kohli will have to don the captaincy hat again. RCB won’t get a better leader than him. RCB is making a new team and they will search for a good leader. But does Kohli want to take up the role? It will be a big challenge but I won’t be surprised if he agrees to be the captain for the next 1-2 years. RCB also needs to groom a young player who can lead them in future. If they get Ishan or Shreyas in the auction, they can be good Indian picks as future leaders,” said Harbhajan in a recent interaction.
Talking about overseas options, David Warner is the best pick. He will captain the side and score runs as well. Aaron Finch is also a player who can lead the team. He may have not performed exceptionally well with the bat but RCB can rope him as a captain. RCB can also look for Eoin Morgan. I’ve played under Morgan in Kolkata Knight Riders and he’s got a composed attitude. But according to me, Kohli’s return to captaincy is the best option for Bangalore,” added the Turbanator.
