5 RCB Players who can captain the side in Ab de Villiers’ absence

#3 Chris Gayle

Gayle was the West Indies captain from 2007 to 2010

The swashbuckling batsman captained the West Indies from 2007 to 2010, before being sacked by the West Indies Cricket Board, and being replaced by Darren Sammy. The RCB opener has enjoyed mixed results as captain, winning three Tests out of 14 and 13 ODIs out of 38.

In ODIs, he led West Indies to two series wins, including an away victory against England in 2009.

His major Test wins came against Sri Lanka in Port-of-Spain which won Gayle much praise as a captain. Gayle has been a part of the IPL since the first edition, in which he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders. The RCB team management could choose Gayle as a captain for the experience he brings to the table.
