Kohli received a huge ovation and appreciation from the crowd as he walked back as the captain of the team after a year. Despite being a stand-in captain, Virat’s decision to take up captaincy in the absence of Faf du Plessis is commendable.
IPL 2023: Virat Kohli is Back as RCB Captain
“While talking at the toss today Virat said, Faf potentially can’t be fielding today, so he’ll be playing as an impact player, switching with Vyshak. We got to do what we wanted, we would have batted first, the pitch could get slow, and some scruff marks would help the bowlers go deep into the game. Taking one game at a time, focusing on our own game, and making the most of crunch situations, we haven’t gone that so far in the tournament. No other changes for us.”
Sam Curran won the toss and chose to field first on their home ground. Both the stand-in captains took responsibility for their team. Shikhar Dhawan is out due to an injury as well. Sam claims he is getting back to being fit fast but unfortunately had to miss today’s game.

Virat and the squad weren’t disappointed after losing the toss as they planned to bat first. Faf will be the impact player and couldn’t stick to the field for fielding in the second innings.
RCB fans are going bananas over Virat’s presence as the captain in today’s match. Though it is for one match it will be amusing to watch King Kohli back in action as the leader of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
