Will Kohli captain RCB?
According to information from sources, RCB’s owner and team management people are constantly trying to contact Virat Kohli and their effort is to agree to captaincy. Although there has been no talk to Virat since retirement from Test cricket, the team management has opened the option for Virat.

It is all known that Virat is a team man and those who will be in the interest of the team will take the decision there. RCB has performed brilliantly in IPL 2025, currently ranked second in the points table with eight wins in 11 matches.
Who will be the captain if not Virat?
Due to the unfit of Rajat Patidar, RCB has many contenders in the team to become captain. Players like Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jitesh Sharma have already played this role in IPL. As a result, one of these players can captain RCB in RCB vs KKR IPL 2025 match. , However, injuries have introduced challenges, in which Devdutt Padikkal has already been out due to hamstring injury. In addition, foreign players like Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salat and Liam Livingstone can miss some matches due to international commitments. Despite these failures, the RCB remains a strong contender for the playoffs. If Sharma steps as a captain, then they have to ensure that the team maintains their rhythm and can win the remaining matches. His leadership may be important in guiding RCB in this phase of the tournament.
