Glenn Maxwell could be a great choice to lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the upcoming IPL 2025 season. He has been with RCB since 2021, so he knows the team well. His batting performance, with 1214 runs at a striking rate of 161.43 shows that he consistently contributes and is the team’s fifth-highest run-scorer. Apart from his cricket skills, Maxwell is an “ideal candidate” for captaincy as he has the right leadership qualities. Although we do not have many details about his captaincy experience, he has led the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, which is seen as a positive. The argument implies that his personality, thinking, and ability to motivate teammates make him a good fit for the role of captain. Without directly criticizing Faf du Plessis who currently captains RCB, the comparison suggests a preference for Maxwell.
2. Cameron Green
RCB made a bold move before the IPL 2024 auction by getting the talented young player Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians through a trade. Currently, Faf du Plessis leads RCB with experience but because of his age and injury worries, who could be the next captain? If Green does well for RCB in the upcoming season, he might be a strong candidate for captaincy in the future. He has already shown leadership qualities by captaining Australia’s U-19 team in the 2018 World Cup. He is known for his impressive on-field attitude and smart tactics. However, it is important to remember that Green is still young and needs to prove himself in the intense environment of the IPL.
The upcoming IPL season is crucial for both Green and RCB. Green has the chance to show his talent on a big stage and prove himself as a future leader. At the same time, RCB is hoping to finally win a championship. If they both succeed together, His dream of becoming a captain might come true sooner.
3. Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes might come back to the IPL in 2025 after skipping the 2024 auction, and there is a buzz that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) could be eager to have him not just as a player but as their captain for the 2025 season. Even though Stokes had a bit of a dull 2023 IPL season, he has a solid record overall, scoring 935 runs and taking 28 wickets in 45 matches. RCB is known for some captaincy challenges and might see Stokes as the missing piece for their championship hopes. He did a great job leading England in Test cricket, winning the 2023 Ashes series. RCB might think he’s the right leader they need. Having played 45 IPL matches, he knows the pressure of the league. His international experience could be crucial for guiding RCB through tough situations. Being new to RCB, Stokes could bring in a fresh perspective and strategy, especially after the team’s recent not-so-great performances.
Conclusion
Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and Ben Stokes emerge as compelling candidates to potentially replace Faf du Plessis as the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the future IPL season. So, these are the players to replace Faf Du Plessis in IPL 2025.
