After much wait, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have revealed their skipper for the Indian Premier League 2025 season. The 31-year-old Indian batter Rajat Patidar has been named captain of the Bengaluru-based franchise, replacing South African legend Faf du Plessis, who was released ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auctions. The move was a bit surprising for many as he was chosen above the poster boy of the side Virat Kohli, even after Patidar is yet to make his T20I debut. It would be interesting to see if Patidar can lead the side to their first-ever title since inception in 2008. Fans took to social media to share their reaction to the appointment of the new captain.
