Former RCB star Moeen Ali has now made a massive revelation on Kohli's possible snub from the role of RCB skipper back in 2019, when they ended last in the points table. However, Kohli continued to be captain for the side till 2021.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru might have had several disappointing seasons, but they have also seen several successful seasons, like the 2016 or even the 2024 season, where they qualified for the playoffs from having less than a 5% chance of qualification.
Amid all this, former English and RCB all-rounder Moeen Ali has spoken about the franchise thinking of replacing Virat Kohli as captain in 2019. RCB ended last in the points table of IPL 2019, with just 5 wins.
"In the final year, when Gary Kirsten was there—after the first year, I believe—Parthiv was in line to become captain. He had a brilliant cricketing brain. That was the talk at the time. I don't know what happened or why it didn't materialise, but I'm sure he was seriously considered for the role," said Ali in a recent interview with Sports Tak.
Virat led RCB till IPL 2021
New Zealand coach Mike Hesson was roped in as the Director of Cricket, and former KKR coach Simon Katich took over the position of head coach. Under the new coaching setup, RCB qualified for the playoffs in IPL 2020, and then after Sanjay Bangar took over in 2021, they again made it to the playoffs.
He was replaced by Faf du Plessis as skipper of RCB and by Rohit Sharma as the Indian captain across all three formats of the game.
RCB won their maiden IPL title in 2025 under Rajat Patidar
After Faf was released, Rajat Patidar, the youngster from Madhya Pradesh, was surprisingly named the RCB skipper. With so many senior players on the side, Patidar seemed to be a weak choice by the management; however, he proved them right as he led RCB to something no great captain could.
