Patidar eyes India A success after historic IPL win

Bengaluru, Sept 16 (UNI) Rajat Patidar, who scripted history by captaining Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to their maiden Indian Premier League title earlier this year, today said that the experience had given him invaluable lessons in leadership and resilience as he prepares to lead India A in the upcoming three-match one-day series against Australia A, starting September 30.
Speaking to reporters here, the stylish right-hander said donning the captain’s armband for India A was a special moment in his career. “It’s a huge honour for me to captain the India A side for the series against Australia A. I see this as a fantastic opportunity for us to show the level we are at and push ourselves into contention for a place in the senior national team through consistent and resilient performances,” Patidar remarked.
The 32-year-old described 2025 as a turning point in his professional journey. “In many ways, this year has been extraordinary for me, personally and professionally. It began with the responsibility of leading Madhya Pradesh in first-class cricket, followed by RCB entrusting me with the captaincy of their iconic franchise. Winning the IPL trophy was truly the icing on the cake,” he said.
