The stage is set for now for the IPL 2025. With the recently concluded mega auction, the 10 franchises are now hoping to perform to the best of their capabilities as they aim for the title. Prior to the upcoming season, RCB announced that they will be naming their latest captain for IPL 2025.
Faf du Plessis has been chosen as the captain for RCB IPL 2025. Freshly released before the mega auction, numerous speculations have surfaced as to who would become RCB’s new captain. While many are rooting for veteran Virat Kohli to assume the role again, others suspect that Rajat Patidar might be the favorite.
With that announcement now made, Rajat Patidar will be RCB’s new captain for IPL 2025, thus quelling all the speculation. Bengaluru are still chasing their first IPL title and will hope this season to win their lucky charm-a trophy.
Talking about RCB’s previous records, they had been rather unlucky so far regarding securing titles. After three finals lost, the team hopes IPL 2025 will spin a different story. It must be said that RCB was fairly busy in the mega auction for IPL 2025, acquiring names like Phil Salt, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Liam Livingstone, and many other big names. .
With a stable core, there are prospects that the franchise will be free from the curse and go all the way. With Rajat Patidar at the helm, the fans are now getting ready to see a new era for one of the most entertaining sides of the tournament. Interestingly, Patidar recently directed Madhya Pradesh to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he led the side to the final before succumbing to a loss against Mumbai. With strong captaining credentials, RCB sees a potential in Patidar to deliver the franchise to the future.
