Why Rajat Patidar is Key for RCB Today
- This is Rajat Patidar’s first IPL season as RCB captain, and he has already shown solid leadership and form in IPL 2025.
- He enjoys playing at Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the short boundaries and flat pitch suit his stroke-making ability.
- His previous fifty vs GT proves he’s capable of delivering under pressure and can anchor or accelerate as needed.
With his explosive strike rate, clean hitting, and past success against Gujarat Titans, Rajat Patidar is expected to play a key role for RCB in today’s match. If he gets going in front of the home crowd, RCB will be well on their way to another win in IPL 2025.
