He Likes To Be A Star, Not A Superstar: DK Hails RCB Skipper Patidar's 'calming Influence'
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their second successive IPL title with a five‑wicket win over Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik praised skipper Rajat Patidar’s calmness, saying that bowlers tend to thrive when they have a captain like him leading the side.
Patidar-led RCB finished at the top of the ten-team points table in the league stage and successfully defended their title by chasing down 156. Before Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 75 took them over the line, seamers Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rasikh Salam Dar were precise in their execution of plans to rattle GT and keep them to 155/8.
"Rajat has been a huge calming influence in a dressing room that is high-octane and high testosterone. He keeps things very calm, and that's so important. The bowlers thrive when you have a calm captain; it definitely helps under pressure.
