Virat Kohli captains RCB against Punjab Kings
Meanwhile, in what comes as huge news to RCB fans, Virat Kohli has returned as RCB captain in the ongoing game against Punjab Kings. Post the IPL 2021 season, Virat Kohli stepped down as the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Faf du Plessis has been appointed the regular full-time captain. However, the veteran won’t take the field today against Punjab Kings owing to a bruised rib but he will be turning up as an impact player in the game.

So far, Virat Kohli has led Royal Challengers Bangalore in 140 matches. Under his captaincy, RCB won 64 and lost 69 games.
