‘We will try and win it for Virat’: RCB captain Rajat Patidar ahead of IPL 2025 finals. Cricket news
On the eve of the final of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Rajat Patidar addressed the media in Ahmedabad with a calm focus and a calm determination. With the preparation of his fourth presence in an IPL final and aiming to lift the trophy for the first time, Patidar lied the team’s news, emotional motivations and further. Speaking of the availability of mid-order batsman Tim David, Patidar confirmed that a final call would be taken by the medical team later during the day. “The doctors are there. We will know this evening,” he said, no more details but indicated on vigilant optimism. The conversation essentially turned to Virat Kohli, the face of RCB for more than a decade. While Kohli is no longer leading the team, his presence remains a source of inspiration for the Bengaluru camp. Patidar said with intent, “We will try and win it for him.” “He has done great for India and RCB over the years.”
The final against Punjab Kings symbolizes a rare opportunity for RCB to end its long wait for a title after falling down in 2009, 2011, and 2016. The team has seen faster in the knockout stages, including a major win in qualifier 1, where they are finishing PBK for just 101. legacy.
