After a long wait for the fans, Royal Challengers Bangalore finally revealed that Faf du Plessis will be their captain for the upcoming season of the IPL. They also launched their new jersey for IPL 2022.
Both fans and players were impressed by the new jersey of the Bengaluru side. The red and black jersey has a fierce look to it and will definitely suit the playing style of the team.
Ex RCB captain Virat Kohli did not shy away from praising the new jersey.
“I absolutely love it and the moment I wore it, I felt something special. I can definitely say, this is my most favourite RCB jersey, ever,” revealed Kohli.
Virat who had led RCB for many years had announced that the previous edition would be the last for his captaincy stint. Fans were speculating various names who could take over the leadership mettle but Faf was finally announced as the official skipper.
The other names fans were speculating were Indian wicket Keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik and Australian all rounder Glenn Maxwell. The Bangalore management and fans would be hoping that the right choice has been made and they can finally win their first title.
Speaking about the new jersey, it has a great combination of black and red and gives a bold look.
RCB has been one of the most popular teams in the history of the league. They have had some of the greatest players in their team and therefore the absence of a trophy has often left viewers surprised. A team which had the likes of Chris Gayle, Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Shane Watson playing together would definitely be expected to have a couple of trophies in their cabinet.
Fans would be hoping that the new captain and new jersey could bring them some more luck as well. IPL 2022 commences with a match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders on March 26. Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Punjab Kings in their first match on March 27.
