'I Told Mo Before Captaining RCB...': Patidar Reveals Leadership Talks With Team Director
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Newly appointed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Rajat Patidar revealed how he reacted when he was first asked to captain the franchise and said that he told the Director of Cricket Mo Bapat that before leading RCB, he'd like to have the captaincy of the state (Madhya Pradesh) team.
Patidar was named the franchise’s new captain ahead of IPL 2025 in an event on Thursday. He will take over the role from Faf du Plessis, who captained the team for three seasons from 2022 to 2024.
When asked about his captaincy style, Patidar, who was one of RCB’s three retentions apart from Virat Kohli and Yash Dayal, said, "If I talk about my way of captaincy, I'm not that expressive, but at the same time I'm aware of the situation of the matches. For me, it's important to back my players and stand with them and give the sort of environment where they feel relaxed and confident.
