Virat Kohli Backs Rajat Patidar as Future Leader of RCB
In a significant endorsement, star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has expressed unwavering support for Rajat Patidar, the newly-appointed captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Kohli, who has been the face of RCB since the inception of the Indian Premier League (IPL), believes Patidar is the future leader of the franchise and has the potential to steer the team towards success.
Kohli’s Confidence in Patidar
During RCB’s Unbox event, Kohli addressed the enthusiastic fans, urging them to rally behind Patidar. “The guy who is going to come next is the guy who’s going to lead you for a long time. So, give him all the love you can. He’s an amazing talent; he’s a great player; we have all seen that. He has got a great head on his shoulders, and he will do a great job for this amazing franchise and take the team forward,” said Kohli, emphasizing Patidar’s capabilities.
Patidar’s Journey and Aspirations
Taking over from South African star Faf du Plessis, Patidar has garnered praise from Kohli and is determined to meet the high expectations set before him. “Legends like Virat bhai, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle have played for RCB. I grew up watching them. I am more happy that I got a new role to lead one of the biggest teams in T20 cricket,” remarked Patidar, reflecting on his journey and responsibilities.
RCB’s Quest for Glory
Despite being one of the most popular teams in the IPL, RCB has yet to clinch the coveted trophy. With Kohli’s backing and Patidar at the helm, fans are hopeful for a breakthrough season. Kohli’s excitement about the team’s potential this year adds to the anticipation of what lies ahead.
