Though Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) selected some major names in the latest super auction for the IPL 2025, the team’s captaincy remains undetermined.
Meanwhile, suspicions are circulating that top batsman Virat Kohli may take over as team captain. In response, RCB superstar AB de Villiers has revealed that the India great will take on the position in the forthcoming season.
The former South African and RCB great claimed that Kohli will take over as RCB captain, despite the fact that no formal statement has been made on the matter.

Virat Kohli I don’t believe it’s been confirmed yet, but he’ll be the captain watching over the squad, De Villiers stated in a video posted on his own YouTube account.
Notably, De Villiers had the most successful IPL spell with RCB. The former aggressive batter is still a frequent participant in franchise insider discussions.
Furthermore, being one of Kohli’s closest friends, De Villiers is aware of the intricacies of his life.
RCB purchased numerous notable players in the last auction, including Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Phil Salt, Tim David, Liam Livingstone, and Jitesh Sharma.
De Villiers acknowledged his happiness with the development.
I’m quite pleased. It’s a well-balanced group; we’re lacking a match-winning spinner, but we should be able to balance it out, said De Villiers.
