    IPL 2026: Patidar’s Knock Was The Turning Point, He Accelerated Beautifully, Says Pietersen

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar’s unbeaten 48 and his timing of acceleration were the turning point in their 43-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), according to former England batter Kevin Pietersen.

    Patidar scored a quick-fire 48 not out off 19 balls at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, as RCB posted a mammoth 250/3. He smashed six maximums and a four at a strike-rate of 252.63, apart from sharing an unbeaten 99-run stand for the fourth wicket with Tim David, who hit 70 not out off 25 balls.

    "You could see the confidence in Rajat Patidar. Dinesh Karthik has spoken about how hard he worked on his game after the IPL. He wasn’t satisfied with just winning the title. He wanted to contribute more. Tim David’s innings was outstanding and filled with big sixes, but for me, Patidar’s knock was the turning point.
