    IPL 2026: Challenging For Patidar To Win Back-to-back Titles As Expectations Will Be High, Says Kumble

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Anil Kumble said Rajat Patidar will face a stern test in leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru to successive Indian Premier League (IPL) titles, saying that the expectations will be on a high after last season’s breakthrough triumph.

    Patidar took over from Faf du Plessis as RCB’s captain ahead of the 2025 season and led the side to their first-ever trophy win in Ahmedabad. With RCB set to open their IPL 2026 season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 28, eyes will be on whether the side will be able to win successive titles, something which Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) have done before.

    "It's not going to be easy for Rajat Patidar's RCB to win back-to-back titles. Only CSK and MI have managed to win trophies on a continuous basis before. But I think Rajat Patidar has done well as captain in his first season.
