Social Media Blasts Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians as Virat Kohli Backs Rajat Patidar to Lead RCB in IPL 2025
Virat Kohli urged RCB fans to support new captain Rajat Patidar, calling him a future leader. Patidar has scored 799 runs in 27 IPL matches at an impressive strike rate of 158.85. Expressing his excitement, Patidar said leading RCB is a dream, having grown up watching legends like Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle.
In the last year, Rohit Sharma failed to pass on the Mumbai Indians captaincy baton to Hardik Pandya well, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took a different approach by backing Rajat Patidar as their new skipper for IPL 2025. At the RCB Unbox event on March 17, Virat Kohli passionately urged fans to support Patidar, calling him a future leader who would guide the franchise for a long time.
Kohli described the 31-year-old as a talented player with a great cricketing mind, confident that Patidar would excel in the leadership role. Patidar, who has been a consistent performer for RCB, expressed his pride in leading a franchise once represented by legends like Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle. He called it a dream come true to captain one of the biggest T20 teams.
