Rajat Patidar demonstrates incredible determination and confidence in his rise to captaincy in the Indian Premier League. Few Royal Challengers Bangalore fans projected his rapid advancement toward leadership position after he signed with the team in 2021.
A challenging year followed with various obstacles facing the player. Before the 2022 mega auction took place, Patidar was released by his team and received no bids in the auction process. This seemed to doom his chance to play in the IPL. However, fate had other plans. He transformed his luck when RCB chose him as a substitute to play in their games and delivered one of the most impressive eliminatory century against Lucknow Super Giants.
