Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took a big decision for the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) and appointed Rajat Patidar as the new captain of the team. 31-year-old Patidar has captained Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket, but he does not have much experience in leading such a high-voltage tournament. Before the start of the season, Virat Kohli’s name was in the discussion, but the management expressed confidence in the Patidar, who has performed brilliantly so far.
Bengaluru has won 4 out of 6 matches so far in the current season. Patidar’s decisions as captain have been commendable, and now his captaincy has also been praised by experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Pesar said that the Patidars are of calm nature and this is the biggest need of this format. He also said that Patidar has handled the circumstances in a great way and his strategy to change his bowling has been great.
Bhuvneshwar said, “They have been very good. The best thing is that he has been calm, and this is the most important thing in this format, because when you lose a match, it is the easiest. But, he did not do so. We have lost two matches, but their attitude, but his attitude, win or lose, has always been the same. He has taken care of things very well, and he has also been luxurious.”
Significantly, Rajat Patidar’s performance as a batsman has also been very impressive this season. He has played useful innings for the team on important occasions and has also maintained restraint under pressure. Under his captaincy, RCB has not only won, but the team’s spirit and solidarity have also appeared clearly.
On a big stage like IPL, where the captaincy pressure is very high, the Patidar has influenced everyone with the balance of patience, understanding and aggressive thinking. In such a situation, if he retains this rhythm, then the expectations of RCB’s place in the playoffs and winning the title also seem to be strong.
