the big breaking news had to come and people were waiting for who will be the new captain of RCB. Now it’s confirmed that Rajat Patidar will be the RCB captain and the championship of RCB for 2025 will start with Rajat Patidar.
There were many names on the team. However, the discussion was going on about how can you make anyone else the captain other than Virat Kohli. “Virat will be the captain” that’s what we all thought.
But for the past few months, the management or the social media team of RCB has constantly given you hints that Rajat Patidar is the person who is the future of RCB. The cap has been given at a huge event. The director was there. The director of cricket was there. The CEO of RCB was there. He directly said when the presentation was done that keeping the future in mind, RCB’s choice is Rajat Patidar.
Apart from Rajat Patidar, there is Kunal Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. These are the three names that you see as captain, but Bhuvi is an old player so that’s why maybe they don’t consider him as future captain, because especially this is the squad of RCB if you keep the future in mind, then there is only one name there who can lead RCB in the future for the next four-five years or can also produce results for RCB for a long time and that is why Rajat Patidar seemed to fit in that entire criterion.
Virat’s Opinion on This Decision
Situation
What Virat Kohli has said for Rajat Patidar, that too gets ready as soon as it happens because a complete ceremony took place in a way where the RCB management very beautifully honored all the RCB captains from the beginning, from Rahul Dravid in 2008 to the last captain of RCB, Faf du Plessis in 2024, they made a video of it, completely proper and of which Then in the last it was shown in a very beautiful way that Rajat Patidar is now going to be the captain of RCB, but whatever the coach will say see this, the new RCB captain is here and that is Rajat Patidar. He went unsold in the 2022 auction and after that, he was replaced but called midway when his marriage was also taking place and he left all that and came. After that, Rajat Patidar was retained for 11 crores in 2025, and RCB appointed him as the New captain of RCB
Virat’s Opinion
As soon as Virat Kohli’s statement was ready, Virat Kohli made a full video for Rajat Patidar and in it he said I want to congratulate Rajat, Rajat, I am so happy for you, you have earned it, I have seen how he has evolved, the way he led his team, I request all the fans go right behind him, sending him all the best wishes.
So the great Virat Kohli, who is the heart of RCB, the life of RCB fans, has directly said here, , back Rajat Patidar, get behind Rajat Patidar, Rajat You should support Patidar because the way Rajat Patidar has performed, the way you know as a cricketer, we have seen Rajat Patidar evolving since he came to the RCB camp and since then till now, here Corey has said that you have earned it, that , have you earned this or you have not got it served to you by Rajat Patidar and of course, if you also see the journey in which we just showed you that he was a part of 2021, then after that he went unsold, then came as a replacement, then scored a century for RCB, took RCB to the playoffs and from there never looked back, whether you look at the last season, on the path of comeback, when the RCB team lost five-six matches in the beginning, when the RCB team lost almost six matches in a row, after that when he made a comeback, now look at the performance of Rajat Patidar there, the spin destroyer, Patidar is called so great here today, .
Other Captain Options
As Per Ranji Trophy
However, if you show the RCB squad, there were other names as well. I think in this match, Jitesh was also captaining his team, apart from him, Kanal was also captaining, Rajat Patidar was also captaining there and Bhuvi was also captaining UP. So in the RCB match, four RCB players were captaining their teams and I think from there also the RCB management must have taken a decision that, I would have told you about your four other players in the match. I think there was Ritesh Patidar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Jitesh Sharma. These three and the fourth Ritesh Patidar were four players who were captaining their respective domestic teams in the team.
Reasons
Bhuvi and Jitesh’s team had a match, I think it was a knockout game where they were eliminated. But anyway, there also the RCB management must have found out about Kunal Pandya because even yesterday there was news that Kunal Pandya was also an option because he was captaining the team. He also captained LSG. Kunal Pandya took the captaincy in the mid-season when KL Rahul got injured and LSG also qualified under his captaincy, so the option RCB must be thinking that he is a captain, he will get some experience as well, Bhuvi is an experienced name, he is a big name, Jitesh and when he was in Punjab, he was the vice-captain of Punjab, he captains in domestic matches, but I think RCB’s choice is right according to me to choose Rajat Patidar, to make Rajat Patidar the captain here because you will see the future as well, he is a performing captain and he deserves it as well, as Virat Kohli has come there and said it, but now look at all the things, at the end I will say only one thing that he has got the captaincy, Rajat Patidar has become the captain, but it all depends on how his performance is, because even now I will say that RCB fans will be happy.
All time Statistics of Rajat Patidar
Rajat Patidar is the fourth Indian player to captain RCB, after Rahul Drade, Anil Kumble, Virat Kohli and now Rajat Patidar has the fourth player, the fourth Indian, the fourth Indian who will captain RCB, so okay, this was the big news, this was the update, we were connected regarding this, hope you liked it, you too must give your opinion in the comment section, what is your opinion about Rajat Patidar, do tell us in the comments.
