From replacement to champion: Patidar shines

The Statesman Bhubaneswar

|

June 05, 2025

Three seasons ago, Rajat Patidar was roped in by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as an injury replacement for Luvnith Sisodia, after he failed to find a buyer during the 2022 IPL auction.

Patidar was earlier released by the same franchise ahead of the auction.

Like any unheralded domestic cricketer, the Madhya Pradesh batter had to prove himself for a place in the playing XI, and the century against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the playoffs proved to be the turning point of his career.

Patidar was subsequently retained ahead of the 2023 season but missed it due to an Achilles heel injury. He scored 395 runs from 13 innings in IPL 2024. With Faf du Plessis leaving the franchise, Patidar was named captain for the 2025 season.

With the franchise's former captain Virat Kohli backing him, Patidar was spot on in his leadership as RCB dominated throughout the IPL 2025 to finish in the top two after the league stage - first time after 2016.
