The suspense is over! šš„ Royal Challengers Bengaluru has appointed Rajat Patidar as their captain for IPL 2025, passing over former skipper Virat Kohli and choosing not to retain Faf du Plessis. This bold move comes after RCB retained Patidar for ā¹11 crore before the auction. Patidar first played for RCB in 2021 and made a stunning comeback in 2022, impressing with a century in the IPL playoffs. Now, with a strike rate of 177.13 in IPL 2024, he has earned the captaincy. Even Virat Kohli backed this decision, saying, "You have made a place in the hearts of RCB fans!"
