RCB skipper Rajat Patidar received high praise from Bhuvneshwar Kumar this season because he remains steady despite every match outcome. Before the 2025 season, Bengaluru appointed Rajat Patidar as captain, a decision supported by Virat Kohli. Under Patidar’s leadership, RCB has enjoyed a successful start to the season, securing a strong position in the upper ranks of the points table. Patidar achieved 186 runs through six matches by hitting two half-centuries while maintaining both an average of 37.2 and an 161.73 strike-rate. Ahead of PBKS, Bhuvneshwar noted during the match day press conference that the level of calmness demonstrated by Patidar is essential for T20s.
Bhuvneshwar On RCB Captain Rajat Patidar
“He’s been very good. The best thing is that he’s been calm. That’s what he needed, especially in this format. Because when you lose a match, the easy thing is to get panicked. And that’s what he has done. We lost two matches, but he’s been the same whether we won or we lost. So he’s been handling everything very well. With the bowling changes and everything, he’s been superb,” said Bhuvneshwar.

“Our preparation is as usual, nothing different. What we do for any opposition on any ground, it is going to be the same. We know the Chinnaswamy is known for batting, but if you look at the wicket, it is not the same as what it used to be. I don’t know the reason, but yes, whether we bowl or bat first, we’ll look at the first few overs and then see how the wicket plays, and then we will decide how to approach things accordingly,” said Bhuvneshwar.
