Royal Challengers Bangalore eyes their next poster boy after Virat Kohli. Shubman Gill considered by RCB as the perfect candidate to fill massive shoes. The franchise wants a young face to lead them into the future.
Kohli has built RCB into what it is today since 2008. He scored over 8000 runs wearing red and gold proudly. Finding Virat Kohli’s replacement seems impossible, but RCB must plan ahead now.
Gujarat Titans Face Tough Call
Reports suggest RCB explored Gill’s availability during recent mega-auction discussions secretly. Gujarat Titans owns Gill currently, but retention strategies keep changing rapidly. Shubman Gill considered by RCB because his star power matches Kohli’s perfectly.

Rohit Juglan spoke about this possibility on his YouTube channel recently. He believes Gill could become Indian cricket’s next big brand ambassador. RCB wants someone who sells tickets and jerseys like Kohli does.
“Gill has already been established as one of the biggest brands of Indian cricket. We are all aware that after Virat Kohli, the player who could be the biggest brand of Indian cricket, their poster boy, it would be Captain Shubman Gill,” Juglan said.
“Just like the broadcasters as well as the MRF had cashed in on Gill, RCB too wanted to cash in on this opportunity to acquire a player who could emerge as their next big thing. At that time, there was only one name, Shubman Gill,” he added.
Record-Breaking Performance Boosts Value
Gill just broke the record for most WTC centuries by Indians. He surpassed both Rohit Sharma and Kohli in this achievement recently. These performances make him a hotter property than ever now.

Shubman Gill considered by RCB as Virat Kohli’s replacement, makes perfect sense strategically. The youngster brings youth, consistency, and a massive fan following everywhere. His batting style attracts crowds just like Kohli’s aggressive approach does.
Next Generation Leader
Aakash Chopra called Gill part of cricket’s next elite generation coming. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill will dominate Indian cricket for years ahead. Both players represent the future that franchises desperately want to secure.
RCB needs a captain who delivers under pressure like their icon. Gill proved his leadership skills, captaining India across formats recently. His calm demeanour contrasts with Kohli’s fire, but effectiveness remains equally strong.
