Star cricketer Virat Kohli has taken back his position as captain of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) club, which may come as a surprise to some. Virat Kohli entered the field as captain for the toss in the Indian Premier League game today. Another unexpected development was the continued inclusion of regular captain Faf du Plessis in the starting eleven.
Social media erupted as Virat Kohli was announced as the new captain of the RCB. The RCB Twitter account provided clarification for the entire incident and underlined that Virat Kohli is only the temporary skipper. The scene we’ve been missing for so long! Regaining control is King Kohli! The social media accounts for RCB posted, “Only smiles on the faces of both stand-in captains!”
However, Virat Kohli was granted command despite Faf du Plessis is a member of the team for the game. However, King Kohli supporters exploded in cheers because they are aware of how exciting and energized Kohli makes the game when he is captaining the squad.
Sam Curran, the captain of the Punjab Kings, won the toss, but Virat Kohli still managed to score another half-century. With this record, Kohli set two other records: scoring 30 or more runs; appearing 100 times in the IPL; and hitting 600 fours in all. Virat Kohli is, after all, a name for records.
