IPL 2021: Ranking all 8 captains ahead of the upcoming season
Overall, one can genuinely sum up that in an IPL, a captain is actually as good as his team.
7. Virat Kohli
Although RCB had qualified for the playoffs in the IPL 2020, they were convincingly lacking behind if compared to the way the top two teams were playing. Since 2013, India’s current captain has been commanding the reigns of this franchise but in reality, has mainly come out with a bleak show. The 2016 edition is the only bright spark coming out of Virat’s complacent captaincy career and often has been castigated for not stepping down.
In terms of numbers prior to IPL 2020, Virat has captained RCB in 110 matches and has won 49 matches. And in terms of winning percentage, the number does drop below fifty (47.16). Also since their breakthrough year (2016), the team has mostly found itself towards the rear end of the points table.
However with the arrival of Mike Hesson, who currently is the director of the cricket operations at RCB, one can once again bank on him to make this team qualify for the playoffs. It will again be an enthralling affair for RCB fans to watch Virat and ABD strenuously soaring the team into the playoffs.
