After Virat Kohli announced his decision to relinquish the Test captaincy role, Mohammed Siraj took to social media and thanked his "superhero" for the support and encouragement which he received from the 33-year-old. Siraj further thanked Kohli for trusting and believing in him over the years.

Mitchell Starc has revealed that he is considering putting his name in the mega auction ahead of the 15th edition of the IPL. Starc represented Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2014 and 2015 seasons of IPL, and scalped 34 wickets from 27 matches at an economy rate of 7.16 and a strike rate of 17.

With RCB having rather surprisingly released their premier spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, Aakash Chopra feels that Rahul Chahar could be his replacement, and the franchise would go all-out after the 22-year-old in the mega auctions. Chopra also identified Jason Holder as a possible captaincy candidate.

Former New Zealand cricketer Daniel Vettori has opined that leadership of the Royal Challengers Bangalore will go to Glenn Maxwell and he will lead the team next as Virat Kohli stepped down from the role. Vettori also believes that Kohli must have thought it through to give captaincy to Maxwell.
