Virat Kohli has announced that he will
quit as captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) after the IPL 2021 season. The RCB
captain himself delivered the statement via the franchise's social media outlets, which
surprised RCB fans.
In 2013, Virat Kohli took over as RCB captain when Daniel Vettori stepped down. Despite his batting prowess, the 32-year-old has yet to help the organization win a championship. In 2016, when RCB reached the final, the right-handed batsman had his best season as captain.
Kohli can be heard thanking the supporters for their unwavering support in the video and stating that he will stay 'an RCB player' until the end of his IPL career.
Kohli has a total of 132 IPL matches under his belt, with 60 wins and 65 losses. While the elegant right-hander is one of the best hitters in the IPL today, the fact that he will need to win a trophy has become a significant talking point in recent years.
Meanwhile, the 32-year-old announced his desire to step down as India's T20I captain before announcing his resignation as RCB captain. He will, however, captain the men in blue in the forthcoming T20 World Cup, which begins on October 15th in the United Arab Emirates.
Unlike the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli has a stellar record as India's T20I captain. He is the only captain to won the T20I series in four different countries: South Africa, England, Australia, and South Africa.
