AB de Villiers dropped a major hint on Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) new captain for the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). RCB released Faf du Plessis and did not buy either Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, or Shreyas Iyer in the auction, leaving a question mark on the leadership role.
There is a major expectation that RCB will target either Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, or KL Rahul in the auction as they look for a new captain. With the franchise purchasing neither of the three players, the captaincy conundrum has only grown.

Kohli stepped down after the 2021 season and announced the decision just days after he confirmed he would resign as India’s T20I captain after the 2021 T20 World Cup.
“Virat Kohli, I don’t think it has been confirmed yet but he will be captain looking at the squad,” said de Villiers on his Youtube channel.
