Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has made its young batsman Rajat Patidar the new captain of the team ahead IPL 2025. After this news, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) did not miss the opportunity to troll RCB on social media.
Let’s know what the whole matter is. RCB decided to drop Faf du Plessis from the team and everyone felt that now Virat Kohli could become the captain again. But the team management surprised everyone and handed over the captaincy to 20-year-old Rajat Patidar. How right this decision will prove to be, only time will tell.
As soon as this news came out, CSK immediately shared a post on social media with a photo of Dhoni, Jadeja, Raina and Gaikwad. With this photo it was written – “4️⃣ Captains. ♾️ aura! 💛✨”
That is, CSK in gestures reminded RCB about the kind of great captains they have had.
After this post, there was a storm on social media. CSK fans are having a lot of fun, while RCB fans got angry. Some fans even said that CSK should not make fun of the other team.
By the way, this is not the first time that such a tussle has happened between the two teams. A few days ago during the Vijay Hazare Trophy, on the malfunction of the mic, Ruturaj Gaikwad had said, “Maybe it is someone from RCB.” In response to this, RCB also made fun of Gaikwad’s dismissal.
Who is RCB’s new commander Rajat Patidar?
Talking about Rajat Patidar, he has been with RCB since 2021. He has played 27 matches so far in which he has scored around 800 runs. Last season, he batted brilliantly and scored 5 fifties. But in 2022, no team bought him in the auction, later RCB included him in the team as a replacement player.
Patidar’s captaincy experience is also good. He led Madhya Pradesh to the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, although he had to face defeat from Mumbai there. He has also captained the team in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
This is a big decision for RCB. The team has changed many captains before. Apart from Indian legends like Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Virat Kohli, foreign players like Shane Watson and Kevin Pietersen also took charge of the team. But till now the team has not won a single IPL trophy.
Fans hope that maybe something different this time. Rajat Patidar is young, full of enthusiasm and has a chance to do something new. But at the same time there will be a lot of pressure on him.
