Virat Kohli stepped down as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain before IPL 2022, paving way for Faf du Plessis to take over. However, with Du Plessis now set to represent Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, the question of RCB’s captaincy remains wide open. If Virat Kohli returns as captain, it could reignite RCB’s hopes for their maiden IPL title. Fans now eagerly await an official announcement.
Speaking about Virat Kohli’s IPL captaincy record so far, Kohli led Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 143 matches, securing 66 wins with a win percentage of 46.15%. He is the only player to have captained Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in over 100 matches.
Virat Kohli IPL captaincy record
Virat Kohli has not achieved similar success in the IPL compared to his international feats. He has captained Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 140 games, winning 64 and losing 69, with seven matches ending in a no-result. He led RCB to the finals once in 2016 but lost against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Interestingly, Kohli stepped down as IPL captain after the 2021 season but took up the mantle again for a few matches in 2023 due to the impact player rule.
