Former skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday said that he is happy to pass on the baton to the new Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Faf du Plessis and was excited to play under him in the upcoming IPL 2022 season.

The former South Africa skipper Faf was named as the new skipper on Saturday during the 'RCB Unbox' ceremony. Du Plessis, who was picked by RCB for Rs 7 crore during the mega auction last month, will now become the franchise's seventh captain in IPL history after Rahul Dravid, Kevin Pietersen, Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, Kohli and Shane Watson.
