Kohli again led RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday. He was asked about his stand-in captaincy at the toss. While talking about his experience, Kohli also revealed that du Plessis might be back as RCB captain in their next game.

“Decided to bowl first. No brainer. Evening game at Chinnaswamy, we’ve chased well here. It was unexpected but nothing I’m not used to (stand-in captaincy). It’s been fun so far because of the way the team has been playing. Faf will be playing the impact role again. Hopefully he’ll be back leading from the next game. Looks like a great pitch, the usual Chinnaswamy pitch that we expect,” Virat Kohli said at the toss.
