Rajat Patidar is crushing it as captain in IPL 2025. Some players get rattled under the pressure of leading, but Patidar seems to be thriving. He just scored 51 runs off 32 balls against the Chennai Super Kings. This guy’s on fire, and it’s even more impressive considering the tough conditions at Chepauk Stadium, where spinners usually rule. Patidar rose to the challenge and became the top scorer for RCB.
Captain’s First Fifty
Patidar’s new to captaining in the IPL, and he’s making it look easy. In his first match against KKR, he blasted 34 runs off 16 balls. But against CSK, he took it up a notch and scored his first fifty as RCB captain. Patidar’s innings included 4 fours and 3 sixes – not bad for a captain under pressure.
Won Over Virat Kohli’s Trust
Patidar’s having a solid IPL career so far, with 884 runs under his belt. Once he hits 116 more runs, he’ll join the exclusive club of players who’ve scored 1,000 runs in the Indian Premier League. He’s already smashed one century and 8 fifties in his career. As captain, he’s proving himself to be a force to be reckoned with.
With his impressive performance, Patidar’s won over fans and critics alike, including the trust of cricket legend Virat Kohli. It’s clear that Patidar’s here to stay, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.
