From an opponent to a friend over the years. It’s been a pleasure watching you bat and compete against you over so many years but more than that I value our friendship and shared perspectives on the game and beyond. I continue to cherish every time we speak or meet. Wishing you nothing but the best always brother. You’ve done your bit, you deserve to enjoy all of it now and put your feet up. Well done mate, life’s only just begun. ❤️ #KaneWilliamson
Philp salt on Rajat Patidar captaincy in a recent interview🗣 :-
Honestly, playing under Rajat Patidar has been a massive eye-opener for me since I joined the squad. You hear a lot about these modern-day tactical masterminds who constantly tinker with fields and micromanage every single delivery, but Rajat's approach to captaincy is entirely different-it's all about that quiet, unshakable aura he carries on the field.
He isn't a captain who is going to panic when a couple of overs go for big runs, and you'll never see him screaming across the boundary line or waving his arms around frantically. Instead, he just has this incredible way of simplifying the entire game. Before we even step onto the park, he gives you absolute clarity regarding your specific role, and once you cross that rope, he completely backs you to execute it your own way.
I remember a specific match where the opposition openers were absolutely flying in the powerplay, and the game felt like it was slipping away from us very quickly. In a situation like that, most
captains would call a chaotic mid-over team meeting, bring everyone in, and start changing the plans out of desperation. Rajat didn't do any of that. He just casually walked up to me at cover, told me to forget about the scoreboard, trust the instincts that got me here, and then just walked back to his position with a smile.
That kind of immense, calm confidence is highly contagious, and it immediately rubs off on the entire bowling unit and the fielders. He understands that at this level, players already know how to bowl and bat; they just need a leader who won't suffocate them with data or second-guess their decisions. He doesn't feel the need to overcomplicate the game or make tactical changes just for the sake of looking busy on television. He trusts his players implicitly, and that freedom is exactly why everyone in this dressing room is willing to run through a brick wall for him.
🚨 RCB is single handedly carried IPL 2026 viewership!🚨
15% of total IPL viewership came from RCB matches alone.
Out of 12 matches that crossed 300M+ viewers, RCB played in 7.
4 matches crossed the massive 400M+ mark and all four featured RCB.🤯
🚨 The only close match of the season where fans actually felt it as nail biting, RCB not just won it, they have ended the MIs playoff hopes that day!
We can’t thank enough to Krunal, Bhuvi for that six at the end.❣️
Absolute goosebump.!
"He let me lead on my own terms!" — Rajat Patidar🚨🗣️
"When I was handed the captaincy template, my biggest worry was how to manage the tactical floor with Virat on the field. But on day one, he walked up and said, 'This is your team, lead it on your terms.' Having that level of backing from the King himself allowed me to make those brave bowling changes under pressure without a single shred of self-doubt."
"We saw the younger generation pushing the scoring rates to 10 runs per over. We knew the old defensive anchor style wouldn't hold anymore. So we built a solution-oriented dressing room where every single batsman had a clear license to look for the maximum from ball one."
Hey @grok Does Rajat Patidar deserve to be named the next permanent captain of the Indian T20 team?
