IPL 2022: In the 'RCB Unbox' event held on March 12th, Royal Challengers Bangalore announced Faf du Plessis as the new captain. 

After Virat Kohli gave up his captaincy after the 2021 season, RCB didn't announce a captain until now. Bangalore bought South African at a cost of 7 crores INR at the IPL 2022 mega auction and will now lead the side.

The Leader of the Pride is here!
