It’s time for Rajat Patidar to run with the baton, as he is now set to lead RCB in IPL 2025. With the formal announcement made, it initially seemed like Virat Kohli would take up the role. However, after many discussions with the higher management, reports suggest that Kohli declined the captaincy, but these are just reports.

Although Patidar is set to make his IPL captaincy debut, he is not new to leadership.

He recently captained Madhya Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and then in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, marking his domestic captaincy debut. He performed exceptionally well, leading his team to the finals in the SMAT and securing a third-place finish in the VHT, showcasing his captaincy brain.

There is no doubt that many expectations will rest on the 31-year-old’s shoulders. It will be highly interesting to see how things comes for him as the leader of RCB in IPL 2025.

Rajat Patidar captaincy record

With 16 games as captain, winning 12 of them, Rajat Patidar has shown that he has a good tactical brain. More than that, his street-smart captaincy skills have come to light, especially in domestic tournaments recently.

Speaking about the IPL, he is certainly new to the captaincy role, but the team he is set to lead, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, is packed with big hitters and talented players. Gives him a good chance to lead the team to success in the upcoming season.
