We’ll Try & Win IPL 2025 Final for Kohli: RCB Captain Patidar
As the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) prepares to face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2025 final on Tuesday, captain Rajat Patidar has expressed his determination to win the match for none other than Virat Kohli, a legendary cricketer who has been an integral part of the team. Patidar’s statement is a testament to Kohli’s enduring impact on the franchise and his own leadership style.
In an exclusive interview ahead of the final, Patidar said, “We will try and win this for Virat Kohli. Kohli has done so well for India and RCB over the years. He is a legend of the game and has been a big part of this franchise. We want to win this for him, for his contributions to the team, and for his leadership.” This is a significant statement from Patidar, as he acknowledges the influence Kohli has had on the team and his own captaincy.
Kohli, who has been the captain of RCB for several years, stepped down from his captaincy role last season. However, his legacy continues to be felt in the team, and Patidar’s statement is a reflection of the respect and admiration the players have for him. Kohli has been an integral part of RCB’s history, leading the team to the playoffs several times and setting numerous records.
Patidar, who is the fourth captain to lead RCB in an IPL final, after Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, and Kohli himself, is aware of the responsibility that comes with leading the team in the biggest match of the season. He believes that the team has the potential to win the title and is determined to do everything in his power to make it happen.
“We’ve worked hard to get to this stage, and we’re confident that we can win the title,” Patidar said. “We’ve been playing some good cricket, and our team is looking strong. We’ve got a good balance of experienced and young players, and I think we’ve got a good mix of skills and styles. We’re looking forward to the challenge and are excited to take on PBKS.”
Patidar also acknowledged the challenge that PBKS will pose, but expressed confidence in his team’s abilities. “PBKS have been playing some good cricket as well, and they’re a tough opponent. But we’re confident in our abilities, and we’re looking forward to the match. We’ll do everything we can to win and bring the title to RCB.”
The IPL 2025 final is shaping up to be an exciting contest, with both teams boasting strong lineups and a wealth of talent. RCB has been one of the most consistent teams in the league, finishing in the top four for several years, while PBKS has been a dark horse, surprising everyone with their performances.
As Patidar emphasized, the final will be a test of the team’s character and resolve. “The final is always a big occasion, and it’s a test of our character and resolve. We’ll need to be at our best, both mentally and physically, to win the title. But we’re confident that we can do it, and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
In conclusion, Patidar’s statement is a testament to the enduring legacy of Virat Kohli and the respect the RCB team has for him. As the team prepares to face PBKS in the IPL 2025 final, Patidar is determined to win the title for Kohli, and the entire team is focused on making it happen.
