IPL 2021 Playoffs | Jos Buttler has the character and personality to captain Virat Kohli and RCB, opines Michael Vaughan

Michael Vaughan opines that Jos Buttlerš· has the character and personality to captain the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Virat Kohli. Vaughan added that Buttler has the skills to replicate the captaincy and cool of MS Dhoni and hence can be a good choice to lead RCB from season onwards.

RCB will look for the best prospects for captaincy in the upcoming mega IPL auction as their long-serving skipper Virat Kohli has decided to step down from the leadꦦership role. Kohliās captaincy ended with RCB losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Eliminator on Monday. A lot of international superstars will be jumping in the auction as it is being belieš ved that the teams wonāt be able to retain too many players in the 2022 auctions.
Michael Vaughan has suggested England vice-captain Jos Buttlerās name foār the RCB captaincy as he believes Buttlā±er is best suited for the role.Ā
"I will throw you a name. This name is out of the box. Heās from another franchise and he may retain him but I would choose Jos Buttler to go there and be the captain. Heās got it in him to be like MS Dhoni. I have no doubt about him," said Vaughan šÆon Cricbuzz.
"Heās been playing for the Indian side under Eoin Morgan. Tactically very astute. Again,ā I donāt know what Rajasthan are thinking of šdoing with him. But I would personally take Buttler to the RCB camp, put him behind the stumps and ask him to captain."
The former England skipper added that itās about who has the skill set to manage Virat Kohli in the dressingź¦ room.Ā
"Itās just that whoās got the character andš¼ personality to go in there and captain Virat Kohli, and āthatās got to be a skillful person, who knows himself, knows T20 cricket very cleverly, knows how to manage people and particular someone like Virat Kohli. Once you are the captain, now you are just in the ranks and be that senior player.Ā
"Those senior players who have been captain even though they are always saying āI was in that position. Only for a short while, Iāll just jump back in the dressing room and be a part⦠the foot-soldier once again. Itās always difficult ą± so theyāre going to need a very skillful man manager to go in there and captain RCB," the former England skipper.Ā
