Another season of IPL and the wait for RCB&#8217;s first title continues. RCB is one of the only three teams that have played the league for 13 seasons but have failed to win a single title. However, this season was extremely promising for them as their bowling unit looked dynamic and balanced but the result remained the same. RCB even qualified for the playoffs after 4 years but the title is still away from them.

The other two teams who have failed to win a title are Delhi Capitals and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wasim-jaffer-pokes-fun-at-donald-trumps-us-election-tweet-with-hilarious-post-for-kxip/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Kings XI Punjab</strong></a> but what separates RCB from these two is the Bangalore franchise&#8217;s confidence in Virat Kohli. The star batsman took over the captaincy from Daniel Vettori in 2013 and he has failed to clinch a title for them till now. Though RCB&#8217;s loss has been due to several reasons, as a captain, Virat&#8217;s tactics have seen major backlash from the cricket fraternity.

Gautam Gambhir also joined in criticizing Virat and said that if someone else would have been in his position, he would have been removed. RCB changes their coaching staff every season or two but they haven&#8217;t given up on their skipper yet. However, despite another failure RCB still might continue with Kohli only and they have logical reasons for that. Franchise considers IPL as a business and it is much more than winning the trophy from them.

Here are the three reasons why RCB can&#8217;t remove Virat Kohli as a captain:

Virat Kohli is the biggest name in cricket at the moment. His performance has been consistent for several years and he is the skipper of the national team as well. With his extreme fitness regime, Kohli has set a benchmark for several cricketers and that has made him a style icon of the country as well.

As per a Celebrity Brand valuation study by Duff &amp; Phelps, the Delhi lad has been named the biggest celebrity brand for the last three years. His brand value was estimated to be USD 237.5 Million for 2019 and that is double than of the second-ranked <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/you-are-my-real-life-hero-hardik-pandya-and-yuzvendra-chahal-laud-akshay-kumar-for-donating-inr-25-crore-to-pm-cares-relief-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Akshay Kumar</strong></a>. He endorses as many as 20 brands and it all adds up to his brand value.

Considering this, RCB would not want their sponsors to go somewhere else, and having Kohli as the face of their team earns them major revenue. Also, their biggest sponsor, Wrogn is partially owned by Kohli himself. Removing Kohli would mean RCB&#8217;s money-making will take a big blow and as profit-making is the prime goal of any franchise, they would not take such a risk.

Virat Kohli is regarded as one of the best batsmen of the current era and his performance has earned him millions of fans. He is most followed Indian on Instagram and despite the country being a Bollywood fanatic, such craze for the Indian captain is stunning. His fan following has also created a massive fan base for RCB as well and that can be seen on the field and social media.

Despite not winning a single trophy in the cash-rich league, they have the third-largest number of followers on Twitter after CSK and MI. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have earned several fans for the Bangalore franchise over the years and Bangalore&#8217;s jam-packed ground is a witness of the same.

If RCB replaces their skipper, this could turn out to be a setback on their fan following. This can reduce the number of fans who turn out to watch the game and that is part of revenue for the franchise. Also with less fan base, they will not get high-paying revenue and RCB would want to avoid their fan value to go down.

Virat Kohli might not have been a successful skipper for RCB but he has been a successful batsman over the years. He is the leading run-scorer in IPL and he also holds the record for being the highest run-getter in a single season. Virat had an outstanding IPL 2016 in which he scored 973 runs and took his team to the final single-handedly.

He is considered as one of the best batsmen across formats and his consistency is admirable. RCB has been considered as a successful unit because of the contribution from him and AB de Villiers and such a strong partnership is quite difficult to form again. In IPL 2020 as well, Kohli made more than 466 runs in 15 games.

Hence, Kohli is invaluable for Royal Challengers and if they decide to replace him as a skipper, he might not play as a batsman as well. Considering that Kohli will continue leading India for a long, he would not want to play as a non-captain in IPL. If Virat goes to any other team, the impact he brings as a batsman will also go away and RCB would never want that to happen.

IPL: 3 reasons why RCB can't remove Virat Kohli as their skipper

Virat Kohli - Franchise consider IPL as a business and it is much more than winning the trophy from them.
