Daniel Vettori has been appointed the skipper of the Royal Challengers Bangalore for IPL 2011.
Vettori has been amongst the most respected players in world cricket and has led New Zealand to the semi-finals of the 2011 World Cup. Vettori is in the same mould as the man he replaces - Anil Kumble. Both were very respected as captains and amongst the leading spinners in the game and both are immensely dignified gentlemen.
Kumble had led the Royal Challengers to a second place finish in 2009 and a third place finish last year. He has now moved into the position of the Chief Mentor of the team.
RCB Chairman Dr Vijay Mallya said, "We are very excited for the upcoming season. Vettori is a highly experienced and respected leader and we hope to ride to the pinnacle of success this IPL under his leadership."
Director of Royal Challengers Sports Pvt. Ltd, Sidhartha Mallya said, "It is wonderful that we have somebody of his stature to lead our team this year. He is the ideal person to fill Anil's shoes and I wish him the very best in this endeavour. I look forward to supporting him in his efforts towards a successful season."
Kumble himself also lauded Vettori, saying: "Vettori is a hugely respected professional not only within his team but amongst his international peers as well. His unique ability to get players to perform as a unit and deliver more than just the sum of their parts, as he has done time and again with New Zealand, will be a big asset to any team."
