RCB captain changed for a match in IPL 2025? Why are the silver Patidars sitting outside; Learn here

RCB Captain Jitesh Sharma: Royal Challengers Bangalore is captained in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, not Rajat Patidar but Jitesh Sharma. The match is being played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and when the time of the toss came, the wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma came out from RCB. Actually RCB’s regular captains are struggling with hand injury, so they have not come to fielding in the match against SRH. Rajat Patidar RCB’s regular captain Rajat Patidar, not a captain, got a finger injury in the match against Chennai Super Kings. The Patidars have not fully recovered from that injury, so they are not fielding in the match with SRH. Jitesh Sharma, who is captaining the team in the match, told during the toss that Patidar will come to bat as an impact player. There has been no information on this subject whether the captain of RCB has changed for only one match or the silver Patidar will play as an impact player in the next matches as well. If the IPL 2025 tournament had not been suspended for a week due to Indo-Pak tension, the silver Patidar was going to miss the match against Lucknow Super Giants on 13 May and the weight of captaincy was to come on Jitesh Sharma’s shoulders in place. The IPL 2025 figures are enough to prove that silver Patidar has been a good captain for RCB. Before the match against SRH, Bangalore has registered 8 wins in 12 matches under the captaincy of Patidar and his team has already qualified for the playoffs. Now RCB is fighting to stay in Top-2.
