Royal Challengers Bangalore returned after the team with a team with a silver Patidar in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League. Taliz Virat Kohli, with a backseat on the role of leadership, RCB surprised the Patidar to ask the team to captain the team. But gambling is paying, at least with RCB at least with two matches at the top of the IPL standing with two matches at the early IPL 2025, thanks to five -time champions Chennai Super Kings and Defending Champions Kolkata Knight Riders to win over.
Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa believes that the RCB, a franchise that is still around for all 17 full sessions, is to win the men’s IPL title despite being around for all 17 full sessions.
“I have a feeling about RCB this year. I will tell you why because of silver Patidar! Their leadership in the last couple of the Games ***** G is incredible! It has been very good!” Uthappa said on the Kimappa show with cricket analyst Jarod Kimper.

“What I love about the Patidar is activism and is peace in which he practices his activism. It is very good to see someone who is leading a team for the first time on the IPL stage, he uses the level of calm that he has exercised, is fine. He is not reactive.” He is not reactive. “

Uthappa highlighted a moment from RCB’s first game vs KKR, highlighting Patidar’s confidence.
“The fact that he bought Suyash Sharma back in attack when Andre Russell (in RCB vs KKR Game) came in batting, when he knew that Suyash had already conceded 40 runs in three overs. He said (Suyash) I picked you up to take out this man. Now I need to do this man, I need to do this!” In his first game as a captain, your bowler has gone for 40 runs in three overs to exercise that level of faith … tells you that he has a character.
“Apart from this, the way he is batting. He is not taking pressure about being a captain. He is going there and is using his role as a batsman who has to take the bowlers to the cleaner and be aggressive with them. He is doing so. He is doing it, so I think RCB has a big chance to go beyond this season.”
