Rajat Patidar: The Architect of RCB’s Golden Era Rajat Patidar’s rise to prominence is a testament to resilience. Originally drafted as a mid-season replacement in 2022 for just ₹20 Lakh, he immediately proved his worth with an unforgettable 112* in the Eliminator—the first century by an uncapped player in the IPL playoffs. After establishing himself as a mainstay in the Indian domestic circuit and earning international caps for India in both Tests and ODIs, Patidar was entrusted with the RCB captaincy in 2025. In a historic inaugural season as skipper, he guided the franchise to its first-ever IPL trophy, ending a nearly two-decade-long wait. Now leading the charge for 2026, the Madhya Pradesh stalwart combines technical grace with a fearless tactical mind.
