rcb captain 2025: Surprise Captaincy Call, Why RCB Chose Rajat Patidar Over Virat Kohli

Speaking about his captaincy, and recollecting when the leadership conversations started, Patidar said: “Last year, I think it was Mo [Bobat, RCB director of cricket] who I spoke to about this. Mo asked me, are you interested in doing captaincy? So I told him, before doing captaincy for RCB, I’d like to have captaincy of the state team. So from there, I got a hint that I could get captaincy. So along with that, I was a little happy that from where I started my IPL career, and now that I look at it, I can feel that journey quite well.”
