Kohli Hails Patidar's IPL Turnaround From 'injury Replacement To Title-winning Captain'
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After 18 years of hard work and dedication, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally reaped the results by winning their maiden IPL title. Virat Kohli had a special word of praise for skipper Rajat Patidar, who came in as an injury replacement in 2022 and went on to don the captain's armband this season.
Patidar is the eighth captain for RCB and has played three seasons for the franchise since joining them in 2021, when he couldn't do much and was subsequently released. He went unsold at the 2022 auction but was brought into the side as an injury replacement for Luvnith Sisodia.
The Madhya Pradesh batter was retained ahead of 2023 season but missed it due to an Achilles heel injury. He scored 395 runs from 13 innings in IPL 2024. With Faf du Plessis leaving the franchise, Patidar was named captain for the 2025 season.
