Talking to sports, RCB COO Rajesh Menon answered the captain’s question. He said, “We have not decided anything at the moment. There are many leaders in our team. There are 4-5 players. We have not yet discussed what we have to do. We will consider and reach a decision. “

Kohli has captained RCB in 143 IPL matches from 2011 to 2023. He won the team in 66 matches while he lost 70 times. In 2016, the team reached the IPL final. In that season, Virat scored 973 runs showing a bang.

Menon further said, “We saw what kind of deficiency in the team and what to fulfill. What kind of Indian core we want and if I want to play in M ​​Chinnaswamy (stadium), then what kind of bowling attack is required. And we did the same. “
