Rajat Manohar Patidar, commonly known as Rajat Patidar, has proved that he is the next big thing in Indian cricket. The right-handed top-order batsman, who is also an off-spinner, has been named Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s new captain for the upcoming 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 31-year-old cricketer has taken over from Faf Du Plessis and will now lead RCB in IPL 2025 and beyond.
Rajat Patidar becomes Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s new captain
The decision shocked most of the people who were rooting to see Virat Kohli making an emotional return as RCB’s captain. For the uninitiated, Kohli captained RCB for nine seasons from 2013 to 2021. Well, the club owners resisted Kohli’s temptation and preferred to build for the future with Rajat. It will be interesting to see whether Rajat Patidar will lead RCB to its first title in the coming future.
