Virender Sehwag on What Has Changed At RCB? Virender Sehwag stated that players are being given more opportunities at RCB under Faf du Plessis’ captaincy, which was not the case under Virat Kohli’s leadership.
Faf du Plessis has successfully replaced Virat Kohli as the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The South African has relied on consistent team selection, and under his leadership, the team fought until the bitter end to qualify for the play-offs, and are now one step away from the final, having defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2022 Eliminator. Even Kohli praised du Plessis’ captaincy, saying he is confident in his decisions. Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag is also please with Du Plessis’ performance with the captain.
“The arrival of Sanjay Bangar as head coach and a new captain (Faf du Plessis) has altered RCB’s thinking. Virat Kohli had a thought process. He used to drop a player from the starting XI if he didn’t perform well in two or three matches. That has not occurred this time. However, Bangar and Du Plessis have kept the team almost consistent throughout. Except for Anuj Rawat, who played the first few matches and was replace by Rajat Patidar, I don’t believe they made any changes due to poor performance “Sehwag told Cricbuzz in an interview while analyzing the four teams that will compete in the IPL 2022 playoffs.

What Has Changed At RCB?
“In bowling, they may have switch between a spinner and a fast bowler depending on the conditions.” They were not altered due to poor performance. With the arrival of Sanjay Bangar and Faf du Plessis, this has changed. Under Virat Kohli’s captaincy and different coaches, there was far too much chopping and changing. That has shifted.
“Virat Kohli himself stated that he sometimes gives Faf advice, but the South African ultimately makes his own decisions. If an Indian player had been captain, and Virat Kohli offer him advice, he might have had to accept it under duress. So, with du Plessis as captain, what has changed? “Sehwag elaborated.
Rajat Patidar scored an unbeaten century as RCB defeated LSG by 14 runs in the Eliminator on Wednesday.
