On this occasion, Kohli appealed to RCB fans to support silver and give him their love throughout the tournament.
Why Virat Kohli captaincy will not be handled?
Prior to IPL 2025, everyone hoped that Virat Kohli would again captain the RCB, but the team management decided to make Rajat Patidar captain this time, taking a new direction. Although the team has seen many ups and downs under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, but his contribution has always been important. Kohli said during the Anbox event, “Rajat Patidar is going to take over the team for a long time, and we all know that he is a great player for RCB.”
Expectations and targets from new captain
