In this season, RCB have prepared nicely by roping in a leader like McCullum.

McCullum is one of the most capped foreign cricketers in IPL and there is absolutely no doubt about his captaincy skills. He took New Zealand to the finals of the 2015 ODI World Cup by leading from the front.

Last year, RCB had to search for leaders when both Kohli and de Villiers were injured in the middle of the tournament. Shane Watson had to lead the side for a couple of matches.

One cannot find any faults in that judgment. Their captain Virat Kohli seldom gets inured and is one of the fittest cricketers going around. So there might be no need to name a vice-captain and if by any chance the need arises, they have the likes of AB de Villiers, Brendon McCullum and Quinton de Kock to do the honours.

But if reports are to be believed, RCB have a deputy for Virat Kohli. They will only announce, if it is necessary.

8/9

It is former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum. The attacking wicket-keeper batsman has been brought into the side not only for his big hitting abilities but also for his leadership skills. And McCullum got stuck into his job from the moment he joined the RCB squad.

9/9

There is no shortage of leaders in the Royal Challengers Bangalore team. So much so that did not even feel the need to name a vice captain for the current season of IPL.
