"The journey continues, I have been retained by RCB. Along with Virat Kohli, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and pacer Mohammed Siraj were the other two players to be retained. He will continue to be a part of RCB for the next three editions of the cash-rich league. However, the India Test and ODI skipper had made it clear that he would play for RCB till the time his IPL career lasts.Īs RCB announced the list of players retained by them going into the IPL 2022 mega auction, Virat Kohli said that he did not have any second thoughts on staying with the franchise. Kohli had announced that he would step down as the captain of the side before the start of the second leg of IPL 2021 in UAE. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have retained former skipper Virat Kohli ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction. Virat Kohli has been part of the franchise since its inception in 2008.South Africa A: Peter Malan (c), Dominic Hendricks, Raynard van Tonder, Jason Smith, Tony de Zorzi, Sarel Erwee, Senuran Muthusamy, George Linde, Marco Jansen, Migael Pretorius, Sinethemba Qeshile, Beuran Hendricks, Lutho Sipamla, Glenton Stuurman. Squads: India A: Priyank Panchal (c), Prithvi Shaw, Hanuma Vihari, Arzan Nagwaswalla, Devdutt Padikkal, Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Navdeep Saini, K Gowtham and Baba Aparajith, Rahul Chahar, Ishan Porel, Saurabh Kumar, Umran Malik, Upendra Yadav. In the bowling department, fast bowler Lutho Sipamla and left-arm spinner George Linde scalped a couple of wickets each but the other bowlers were not very effective.
#SKIPPER BUDS SERIES#
While Navdeep Saini, who has lost his place in the Indian team, and his pace partner Arzan Nagwaswalla took two wickets each, Umran Malik, who was picked in the A squad after impressing with his extra pace in the IPL, also snapped one.Īmong the three spinners, Rahul Chahar, who was a part of the recent home T20 series against New Zealand, conceded 125 runs for his one wicket, while K Gowtham and Baba Aparajith failed to cause any damage.įor the hosts, Pieter Malan (163) and Tony de Zorzi (117) shone bright with respective tons, while three other batsmen - J Smith, Sinethemba Qeshile, and George Linde - further piled on the agony on the Indian bowlers with half-centuries. However, the visiting team’s bowling is an area of concern as it allowed the hosts to pile up a mountain of runs at Mangaung Oval.
Hanuma Vihari, who was not picked for the two home Tests against New Zealand, could manage just 25 here and would be eager to make up for it in the second game. Opener Prithvi Shaw also scored a fine 48 and he would look to make the most of the good batting conditions here. In the first game, India A batters produced a good show with Abhimanyu Easwaran hitting a solid hundred and skipper Priyank Panchal scoring 96 to take them to 308 for 4 in response to South Africa’s 509 declared when rain washed out the final day. However, the India A players will need to keep the thoughts of the new variant at bay and focus on the task at hand as they revive their battle with South Africa A here. If the situation deteriorates, it can jeopardize the tour which involves three Tests, three ODIs, and four T20Is across four venues - Johannesburg, Centurion, Paarl, and Cape Town. The matches are being played without spectators and India senior team is also due to arrive in the country by December 9 for a nearly seven-week assignment starting December 17. However, India A has stayed put in Bloemfontein inside a bio-bubble.
