Virat Kohli is not only one of the most talented players in the cricket world, but also an effective captain. Virat Kohli is leading the IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore in yet another season and it will be his last. Virat Kohli has stated that he will step down as skipper of the RCB team following the end of the IPL 2021 season.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports Select Dugout, former South Africa and Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Dale Steyn talks about how Royal Challengers Bangalore's dressing room would prefer to see their captain Virat Kohli aggressive. "I think the guys prefer to see him be more aggressive, it seems to get him to play a bit more fluently. It kind of sparks the younger players too, a lot of the younger guys have massive respect for Virat, and they admire him so much that they kind of follow in his direction. When he's fighting fire with fire and nobody's doing it for India, you can hear all the quicks, when they were playing against England recently, how they were talking about following their captain and they wanting to play fighting fire with fire. So, he does lead from the front in that aspect and RCB love it. He's kind of built that thought around RCB now. It's the kind of culture that they have got in that dressing room," said Dale Steyn.

Virat Kohli and RCB are currently at the third spot on the IPL 2021 points table and are still chasing their first-ever IPL trophy.
