Mumbai, Apr 21 (TIWN): When Faf du Plessis was appointed as the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain, he had big responsibility on his shoulders to bring new culture, style and more importantly more success to the franchise, and the South African has led from the front in making RCB a title contender in the ongoing IPL 2022.

Ahead of the beginning of the season, RCB made a big move in bringing du Plessis in to replace Virat Kohli as captain. The South African was bought by the RCB for Rs seven crore at the mega auction and was later appointed as the new skipper of the franchise.

Well, the management may have made the decision at the right juncture, but it took a bit of time for the team's fans to register and lock in their minds that the Proteas batter has taken over the reins. But with his impactful batting at the top and his decisive leadership skills, the veteran cricketer has already won the hearts of RCB fans and the trust of the management.

RCB have won five matches out of the seven that they have played this season and are at the second spot on the table with 10 points.

Under Kohli's leadership, RCB were one of the most popular teams in the IPL. They had star-studded playing line-up over the years and most of them used to win matches for RCB with their individual brilliance, but somehow they have failed to win a title for them.
