Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have named India and Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar as the captain of the franchise for the IPL 2025 season on Thursday
Patidar takes over from Faf du Plessis who led the side across three seasons between 2022-24 where the team made it to the IPL Playoffs twice. The 31-year-old Indore-born batter made a dramatic re-entry into the IPL mid-way through the 2022 season as a replacement player for Luvnith Sisodia in RCB after having previously played four games in 2021 for the franchise but not retained later that year.
