RCB has retained Virat Kohli for IPL 2025.
All 10 teams submitted the list of their retained players to BCCI for IPL 2025. In this series, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has retained Virat Kohli. If some reports are to be believed, it is being said that Virat Kohli can be seen captaining RCB once again in the upcoming season. After hearing this news, RCB fans are filled with joy.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Manjrekar said that Virat Kohli should not be made the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Manjrekar said that instead of looking at Kohli’s height, one should see how Kohli has performed with the bat in the last few seasons.
Virat Kohli had won the Orange Cap last season, but also held the record of scoring the slowest century in 67 balls in the history of IPL. Manjrekar said that Kohli has not performed well enough to be made captain again. However, fans still want Virat Kohli to captain RCB in the upcoming season.
Sanjay Manjrekar gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli
Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo, “Take out Virat Kohli and his stature from your mind and just look at his performance in the Incredible Premier League, his performance as a batsman and his performance as a captain, and think whether he should be It is the right decision to make him the captain.”
He further said, “So, as a T20 player, can Virat Kohli make an impact? Because he is Virat Kohli, 95 percent of the fans want him to become the captain. But if you look at his performance, his contribution has not been that impressive. This is my problem because I don’t like to be emotional. I don’t want to move away from the truth by doing hero worship like the fans. Virat Kohli is not in form in Test cricket, but India needs him. But in T20, I don’t think he is as great a player as he was 7-8 years ago.”
