RCB skipper all praise for duo of Kohli and Maxwell
Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis has lavished rich praise on former skipper Virat Kohli and rising star Glenn Maxwell, calling their energetic presence a delight. Du Plessis described batting alongside Kohli as an “unbelievable experience”, highlighting his insatiable passion, which rubs off on everyone around him and lifts fielding standards.
The camaraderie between the two goes beyond cricket, where healthy discussions on fashion, watches and family life have forged a strong bond.
Du Plessis appreciates Kohli’s tactical inputs from the sidelines and role in motivating the troops, though captaincy duties have since been passed on.
Turning attention to Maxwell, the skipper elaborated on the latter finding consistency and unleashing full potential with RCB.
Once described as brilliant but inconsistent, the Aussie all-rounder has been a game-changer, scoring heavily over two seasons, especially against spinners.
Du Plessis explained how batting with the destructive ‘Big Show’ made run-scoring easier, underlining his finished acts have propelled the team tallies while batting lower down the order.
With such valuable veterans in their ranks and positive leadership bringing the best out, RCB will hope to end their trophy jinx this season.
