Fans and experts speculate that explosive batsman Rajat Patidar may be appointed as the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for IPL 2025, as the franchise released their current captain Faf du Plessis. Patidar's impressive leadership and performance for Madhya Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2024, where his team has reached the final after 13 years, has caught the attention of RCB and their social media.

This has opened up opportunities for other franchises, particularly RCB, who have a large budget and need a strong captain and wicket-keeper.
