RCB vs. PBKS IPL2025: Rajat Patidar, the captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, has joined an uncommon list of players who have been benched after taking a rough slap during Friday’s rain-soaked game against Punjab Kings in their own. As the third Indian batter to reach this milestone after Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, he has amassed over 1000 runs for the Bengaluru-based team.

These three demonstrated how difficult it has been for batters to score runs in recent years by being the first Indian hitters to reach 1000 runs for RCB.

Patidar hasn’t looked back since taking Luvnith Sisodia’s place in 2021, and he is also taking the squad by storm. He is also anticipated to play a significant part for the hosts, much like Padikkal.

Patidar was able to give RCB a strong start to the season when he was captain, as they have won four of their six games so far. At the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, however, he will try to break their losing skid.

2nd Fastest Indian To 1000 Runs In IPL History

In addition, Rajat Patidar is now the second-fastest batsman in IPL history to reach 1000 runs. He has overtaken such great batsmen as Sachin Tendulkar, Tilak Varma of MI, and Ruturaj Gaikwad of CSK.

The squad hopes that he maintains his exceptional form for the rest of the season since he astonished everyone by reaching this milestone after just 34 games. Additionally, he may be the first individual to assist them in winning their first championship.
