Royal Challengers Bangalore has announced its new captain for IPL 2025. The franchise has handed over the team's command to Rajat Patidar after Faf du Plessy. He will be the 8th player to handle this responsibility. Virat Kohli, who has captained RCB, has congratulated him on being made captain, and has also sought support from fans for him. At the same time, Rajat held a press conference as soon as the team was commanded and described himself as different from Virat. Let us know which 5 big things he said after getting the captaincy.
As everyone knows, Virat Kohli is very aggressive on the field and his captaincy is very aggressive. But in this case, Rajat Patidar described himself as different. He said 'My captaincy method is a bit different. I am more calm, but I am well aware of the situation of the match. I know when, what needs to be done and what not. I do not express much and I do not panic under pressure. This is my strength.
After becoming a captain, Rajat Patidar not only told about his merits, but has already filled the shout to win the trophy. He said, 'Whatever will have to be done to win the IPL. Let us tell you that Royal Challengers Bangalore has not been able to achieve the IPL trophy even once. She was successful in qualifying in the playoffs in the last season. But the eliminator was out of the tournament after losing in the match.
After assuming the captaincy of RCB, Rajat also mentioned the experienced players already present in the team and the benefits of them. He said 'There are many leaders in our team. Their idea will help. I will take advice the most, however, my captaincy will have my own style. The biggest thing is that I will get a chance to learn from the world's best cricketer (Virat Kohli).
'Virat's experience will work'
Rajat Patidar said to improve his captaincy with Virat Kohli's experience and idea. He said, 'Capation of Virat will not be much pressure. His experience will also be useful. I know them and have also done a lot of partnership. Now we are looking at continuing in the same way.
There was an idea of getting the captaincy in advance
The new RCB captain made another disclosure after getting the command of the team. He told that last year there was a talk between him and the board of directors of the franchise about the captaincy. He was asked about the captaincy. Rajat then expressed his desire to lead his home team before captaining for RCB.
He said, 'I had already got the hint of captaincy. I was told that Virat or I could be made captain. So I was very happy. After last season of IPL, Rajat captained Madhya Pradesh in the domestic T20 tournament to the finals.
