The Royals Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has boasted of some of the colossal names in the cricketing globe. Yet, the team is yet to get its hands on the coveted Indian Premier League trophy. Virat Kohli was appointed as the RCB skipper, replacing Daniel Vettori, in 2013 and has captained the team in excess of 100 games.

But the Challengers have mostly found themselves at the bottom of the table. Kohli has been among their top batters during his captaincy stint. However, he has faced flak for his constant failures as the leader.

For the upcoming IPL, the 31-year-old will again be in charge, hoping to turn RCB’s wretched fortunes around. But there could be an instance when he ends up developing an injury. As his backup, the team management has to jot down some other captaincy options.

In the article, let’s take a look at three players apart from Kohli, who can lead RCB: &#8211;

Aaron Finch has captained <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/a.601832999847425/3298855833478448/?type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia</a> in the ODIs and T20Is for quite some now with reasonable success under his belt. In 29 completed T20Is, the Victorian has 16 victories while losing 13. 2019 was a fruitful year for the Aussie opener as his team remained unbeaten in the shortest format, winning seven out of eight matches.

The other game against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pakistan-super-league-2020-statistical-preview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pakistan</a> at the SCG got rained off. In the 50-overs format, out of 23 matches in the previous year, the Aussies won 16 of them. In fact, from March to July, Australia were on a 10-match winning streak under Finch’s leadership.

The veteran was also the skipper of the Melbourne Renegades, who won the 2018-19 edition of the Big Bash League (BBL). The 33-year-old is the most apt choice after Kohli to shoulder the captaincy mantle.

AB de Villiers has a huge amount of experience in leading a side. From January 2011 to June 2017, the Pretoria born guided South Africa to 59 wins in ODIs out of 98 matches. Captaincy also rubbed off positively on his batting as his average stands at a stunning 63.94 as compared to 53.50 as a non-skipper.

In the 50-overs format, he is joint-third on the list of most successful South Africa captain. In T20Is, ABD has won eight out of 17 completed T20Is. As far as the RCB is concerned, the seasoned campaigner knows the IPL franchise by the back of his palm.

In 2011, the Challengers brought him for INR 5 crore and hasn’t left him ever since. Though the team is yet to win the event, he has garnered a massive amount of fandom. Having played 154 IPL games, he won’t be the worst of choices as the skipper.

Parthiv Patel is one of the most experienced players in the IPL circuit ever since he made his debut for the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kings-xi-punjab-owners-buy-cpl-outfit-st-lucia-zouks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kings XI Punjab</a> in 2008. From there on, he has tried his luck with a number of other franchises. Over the years, he has played the role of someone, who has to take advantage of the fielding restrictions.

In 139 matches, Parthiv has 2848 runs with 13 fifties to show for his efforts. In 2018, RCB brought him at INR 1.70 crores and he hasn’t let his team down. Though he hasn’t captained an IPL side, the southpaw has led in India’s domestic circuit, representing Gujarat.

In the 2016-17 edition of the Ranji Trophy, he captained his team to its maiden title. He churned out 143 in the second innings and helped Gujarat chase down 313. RCB can keep him as a captaincy option without much of a doubt.
