Players who can lead RCB when Virat Kohli steps down

1. AB de Villiers

There are few names who always remain synonymous to the franchises and South African superstar De Villiers is the one for RCB. Pulling the team out of crunch spots for years, the stunning batsman has done just a commendable job for the team.

Apart from scoring runs, he stands to be one of the most experienced players of RCB who shares a great bond with the current skipper too. If Kohli has decided to step down, there cannot be a better person than Mr 360 to handle the team.

Having experience of captaining his national team across formats, the decision of RCB’s management to give ruins of the team to him would absolutely be spot on.
