'MS Dhoni's captaincy was complete opposite to what I thought': Faf du Plessis makes BIG statement after becoming RCB skipper - WATCH

RCB's new skipper Du Plessis, who played for CSK from 2011-21, opened up on how he felt playing under the leadership of Dhoni while pointing out that it was a new culture for him – even in terms of captaincy – when he joined the CSK.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Saturday (March 12) appointed former South Africa national team skipper Faf du Plessis as their new captain for the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

Du Plessis, one of the consistent performers for MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, was an obvious choice after Virat Kohli decided to call time on his leadership role for the franchise after a decade during which their trophy drought didn't end. He was bought for Rs 7 crore by RCB and is available for the whole season.
