    You’ve Earned This, Says Kohli In A Message To New RCB Captain Rajat Patidar

    By IANS News February 13, 2025 • 16:40 PM View: 777
    Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have named Rajat Patidar as their new captain. Former skipper, Virat Kohli expressed his admiration for Patidar’s journey and assured him of his full backing.

    "Rajat, firstly, I want to congratulate you and wish you all the very best. The way you have grown in the franchise and the way you have performed, you have really made a place in the hearts of all the fans of RCB, all over India," Kohli said in a video posted by the franchise. "They get excited to watch you play. So, this is very well deserved. Myself and the other team members will be right behind you, and you’ll have all our support."

    Patidar takes over from Faf du Plessis, who led RCB for the last few seasons but was not retained ahead of the 2025 auction. The 31-year-old batter’s rise in RCB’s ranks has been nothing short of remarkable. After his breakthrough performance in the 2022 season—where he smashed a scintillating century in the playoffs—Patidar has evolved into a key figure for the franchise.
