Ever since the IPL's inception in 2008, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have consistently relied on their most seasoned batter, Virat Kohli. Kohli, though, could not perform very well in the first few seasons but was backed by the RCB franchise.
Recently, Rohit Juglan had reported that before the IPL mega-auction in 2024, the franchise RCB was linked with the Gujarat Titans. The Titans were then confused between handing the priority to veteran spinner Rashid Khan or Captain Shubman Gill.
Just then, RCB were in the hunt for their next skipper after Virat Kohli had turned down the offer to take up any such role. They also needed a player who could back Kohli to emerge as the next face of the franchise once Kohli departs, ending his decades of legacy in the IPL.
"Just like the broadcasters as well as the MRF had cashed in on Gill, RCB too wanted to cash in on this opportunity to acquire a player who could emerge as their next big thing. At that time, there was only one name, Shubman Gill," reported Juglan.
Shubman Gill is India's most successful cricketer in WTC History
He also surpassed Virat Kohli to reach 5 centuries as India's Test captain in no time, only behind the likes of the great Sunil Gavaskar. He also has more centuries than Rahul Dravid as the Indian Test skipper and has equalled his tally with legends like Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni.
