India Today  

Rajat Patidar says that he is more than happy to take on the captaincy of Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025 if given the opportunity. The 31-year-old's name has been circulating within RCB circles as a potential captain for IPL 2025, following the release of former skipper Faf du Plessis. Before stepping into any potential leadership role in the IPL, Patidar is focused on his immediate task: leading Madhya Pradesh to their first-ever Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title. Madhya Pradesh will face Mumbai on Sunday at a venue that holds fond memories-it's where they won the Ranji Trophy two seasons ago, with Patidar playing a crucial role, scoring 122 in a six-wicket victory over the same opponents.
