RCB Coach Daniel Vettori select Glenn Maxwell as Captain for IPL 2022

All 10 teams ready for IPL 2022 Mega auction. In addition, some teams may have new leaders. RCB Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has announced that he will not continue as captain this season. So, the RCB team is in search of a new leader. Former RCB Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Daniel Vettori feels Glenn Maxwell as captain for IPL 2022.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will need a new edition for the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. It was in September that Virat Kohli announced that he would be stepping down from the captaincy after leading the side for eight years. RCB have decided to retain Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Siraj and will be heading into the auction with a purse of Rs 57 crore.

Former RCB coach Daniel Vettori feels the leadership role should go to Glenn Maxwell, who impressed the audience and management alike in his maiden season for the Bengaluru outfit. He ended up scoring 513 runs from 15 matches at an average of over 42, including six half-centuries.

According to Vettori, the franchise is unlikely to go after another player available in the auction and instead back Maxwell as the heir to Kohli. “He will be the likely heir to Kohli. He has the experience of captaining the Melbourne Stars. We talked about most teams wanting to find a captain when they retain players,” Vettori told on ESPNCricinfo.

“I think it has happened too often that teams have to figure out a way, know whom to find in the auction, which can cloud your thinking at times. So, I do believe that Maxwell will be named captain,” he added. RCB will also miss the service of their experienced campaigner AB de Villiers as he declared his retirement from all formats of the game on November 19.

The team management, which will be led by Sanjay Bangar from next season onwards, will have to think meticulously to restructure and build a ferocious team in order to win their elusive title. RCB has reached the IPL final thrice in their IPL journey but hasn’t managed to lift the coveted trophy. Even this year they displayed great intent in the group stage after finishing third on the points table with 18 points.
