In a significant development, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has announced Rajat Patidar as their new captain for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Patidar, a talented right-handed batter, will lead the team in their quest for their maiden IPL title.
Patidar’s appointment as captain is a testament to his impressive performance for RCB over the past three seasons. Since joining the franchise in 2021, he has scored 799 runs in 28 matches at a remarkable strike rate of 158.85. His leadership skills were also on display when he captained Madhya Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Former RCB captain Virat Kohli congratulated Patidar on his appointment, praising his growth and performance within the franchise. Kohli expressed his confidence in Patidar’s ability to lead the team, saying, “You have earned the right to be in this position, and I’m sure you will grow from strength to strength.”
With Patidar at the helm, RCB will look to start a new chapter in their quest for IPL glory. Despite reaching the final three times, the team is yet to win the title. However, with a talented squad and a new captain, RCB fans will be hoping for a successful season.
The IPL 2025 season is shaping up to be an exciting one, with several teams undergoing changes in leadership. Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals are yet to announce their captains, while Shreyas Iyer will lead Punjab Kings and Rishabh Pant will captain Lucknow Super Giants.
RCB’s journey to success in IPL 2025 will begin on March 21. With Rajat Patidar as their captain, the team will look to make a strong start to the season. Can Patidar lead RCB to their maiden IPL title? Only time will tell.
