We’ll Try & Win IPL 2025 Final for Kohli: RCB Captain Patidar
As the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) prepare to face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2025 final on Tuesday, captain Rajat Patidar has expressed his determination to win the title for a special individual – Virat Kohli. Kohli, who has been an integral part of the RCB team for many years, has been a stalwart for both India and the franchise, and Patidar wants to repay his debt by leading his team to victory.
“Kohli has done so well for India and RCB over the years. We’ll try and win this for him,” Patidar said in a pre-match press conference, emphasizing the importance of this victory for the legendary batsman. Kohli has been a key figure in RCB’s history, leading the team to the IPL final in 2016 and scoring over 6,000 runs in the tournament. Despite his departure from the captaincy and the team, Kohli remains an iconic figure in the RCB dressing room.
Patidar’s words are not just empty sentiments; he has a personal connection with Kohli, having played under him during his younger days. Kohli has been a mentor and a role model for many young cricketers, including Patidar, who has grown up idolizing the Indian legend. As the current captain of RCB, Patidar wants to repay Kohli’s faith in him by leading the team to victory.
Patidar’s statement is also a testament to the respect and admiration that Kohli commands in the RCB dressing room. Despite being a senior player himself, Kohli has always been known for his humility and dedication to the team, and Patidar’s words are a reflection of the respect that the younger players have for their former captain.
The IPL 2025 final will be Patidar’s first as captain of RCB, making this a historic moment for the 28-year-old cricketer. He will become the fourth captain after Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, and Virat Kohli to lead RCB in the IPL final. Patidar has had an impressive season, scoring over 500 runs and taking 15 wickets, and will be looking to lead from the front in the final.
RCB has had a rollercoaster ride in the IPL 2025, with ups and downs throughout the season. They were struggling to find their footing in the early stages, but a late surge saw them qualify for the playoffs. They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the eliminator and then beat Rajasthan Royals in the qualifier to set up a date with PBKS in the final.
PBKS, on the other hand, have been a dark horse in the tournament, making it to the final without being considered one of the top contenders. They defeated Delhi Capitals in the eliminator and then beat Lucknow Super Giants in the qualifier to set up the final against RCB.
The IPL 2025 final is set to be an exciting contest, with both teams boasting a strong lineup. RCB has a strong batting lineup, with the likes of Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik, while PBKS has a potent bowling attack led by Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada. The game is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams giving their all to win the title.
As Patidar and his team prepare to face PBKS in the final, they will be looking to make history by winning their first IPL title. It will be a special moment for RCB, and Patidar’s statement has only added to the excitement. The team will be looking to win the title for Kohli, but they will also be looking to make their own mark on the tournament.
In conclusion, the IPL 2025 final is set to be an exciting contest, with both teams giving their all to win the title. Patidar’s statement has added an extra layer of significance to the game, and RCB will be looking to win the title for Kohli. Whether they succeed or not, one thing is certain – this will be a game to remember for years to come.
