They also spent big to acquire Indian wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma.RCB shelled out a big amount to get the services of Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood as the leader of their pace attack alongside swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar.While the team will decide its new captain in due course, there are reports that Kohli might return to lead the side once again.
