The current IPL 2024 has been a nightmare for Faf and his performance is reflecting in RCB’s performance. Faf would like to start from scratch and bring back his form for the betterment of his team. He is a tricky choice but can reap awards as vice-captain.
Yashasvi Jaiswal
RR has won all the games they played despite Yashasvi scoring big runs. Yashsvi would like to turn the time back with him being in form just like how he was before the start of this season. A long inning is due from his bat and he would be surely craving for runs making him a good choice for vice-captain.
Dinesh Karthik
Virat Kohli‘s start with the bat and Karthik’s strong and impressive finish are some of the only positives of this season for RCB. Dinesh Karthik in his last IPL season is looking in great touch and he is RCB ‘s only hope along with Mahipal in the end.
If RCB has to take things back in control with a win, Dk will be the key making him a good choice for vice- captain.
