Era of Rajat Patidar at RCB

The Bengaluru-based franchisee enter the 2025 Indian Premier League season with a major shift in leadership. Rajat Patidar, elevated to the captaincy, takes over a demanding role vacated by Faf du Plessis. The challenge ahead is considerable—Patidar is an untested leader at this level and inherits one of the most difficult home conditions in the league.

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium has long been a bowler’s graveyard. Its short boundaries and high-scoring nature make defensive strategies hard to execute. Since 2017, no team has a worse home record than RCB, with a win percentage of just 44.12—underscoring the scale of the task that lies ahead for Patidar.
