Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) wicketkeeper-batsman Anuj Rawat has chosen either Virat Kohli or Shubman Gill as the best captain after IPL 2025. It is worth noting that in the last season of IPL, Rawat was part of the Gujarat Titans team led by Shubman Gill, but before that he had played three seasons (2022-24) of cricket with RCB.
However, Anuj Rawat did not call either Virat Kohli or Shubman Gill the best and praised both of them, as quoted by Sports Now – Shubman has been playing in Gujarat for only one year, but I have seen that he has captained well. Regarding Virat Kohli, you must have seen that he has always been number one.
So, further in this interview, Anuj Rawat said about his relationship with Virat Kohli – “Our bonding was very good. He is also from Delhi. We Delhiites used to talk and I used to enjoy a lot. If there was any one memory, I would definitely share it, but there are many such memories. We used to have a lot of fun and laughter in the dressing room and on the field as well. I cannot remember any one specific memory, but there are many such memories.”
Anuj Rawat put forth his point of view about Gujarat Titans
At the same time, he put forth his point of view about the team atmosphere and coach Ashish Nehra in Gujarat Titans in IPL and said- “The atmosphere of GT is very good. You see him (Nehra) on the field, but if you see him outside the field, you will see him not as a coach but as a player. Whenever we are in the bus, he sits with us and has fun. Which coach does not get angry? But how friendly he is, I don’t think I have seen any such coach till now.”
On the other hand, let us tell you that in the IPL 2022 auction, left-handed batsman Anuj Rawat was bought by RCB for 3.40 crores. At the same time, in the 22 matches played for the team, he scored a total of 318 runs at an average of 21.20 and a strike rate of 119.55.
