t isn’t often that you see an IPL captain, especially an Indian one, not being the talk of the town. However, with Virat Kohli still being seen as the spine of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team, Rajat Patidar‘s role has flown under the radar since the start of last season. After leading RCB to their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title last year, Patidar played a pivotal role as the Bengaluru side qualified for the final for the second consecutive year, beating the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday. Patidar produced arguably his finest knock of the season, scoring a 33-ball 93 to take the team into the summit clash.
