Virat Kohli is a leader, won't stop being that just because he is not RCB's captain any more: Harshal Patel

IPL 2021: Fast bowler Harshal Patel, who equalled the record for most wickets in a single edition of the tournament, said that Virat Kohli is a natural leader and will remain so even if he is no longer captain of the franchise,

It would have been nice to cap off Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) era under Virat Kohli's captaincy with a maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) but the franchise will celebrate his "immense" contributions anyhow, said fast bowler Harshal Patel. The 30-year-old Harshal, who broke equalled the record for most wickets taken in a single season of the IPL, thanked Kohli and the team management for the trust they have put in him this year.

Kohli played his last match as captain of RCB on Monday when they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets in the 2021 IPL Eliminator.
