Share
Exciting news for RCB fans! Rajat Patidar is the top choice to become the new captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for IPL 2025. With Virat Kohli unlikely to take up the role, the team is looking at other strong leaders. Along with Patidar, all-rounder Krunal Pandya is also in the running.
RCB had planned their team strategy hoping Kohli would return as captain, but recent discussions with senior players and team mentors, including Dinesh Karthik, led to a change in plans. Patidar, who plays for Madhya Pradesh, has been a key player for RCB and was retained for ₹11 crore. He has also shown great leadership skills in domestic cricket, leading his team to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final.
Krunal Pandya, who was signed by RCB for ₹5.75 crore, has been a strong leader for Baroda in domestic cricket. His experience and leadership qualities also make him a contender for the captaincy.
RCB is expected to officially announce their new captain on February 13 in a special event, where important team members like mentor Dinesh Karthik, director Mo Bobat, and head coach Andy Flower will be present. The new season of IPL is set to begin in the third week of March, and fans are eagerly waiting to see who will lead RCB! 🏏🔥
