Jitesh Sharma revealed that Virat Kohli did not want to be reappointed as the skipper of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), hence, Rajat Patidar was the best option to hand over the leadership.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) released their skipper, Faf du Plessis, ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction and didn't run behind the likes of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Ishan Kishan at the auction.
However, that didn't happen as the Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar, who was one of the players retained by the franchise, was made the new captain of the team for IPL 2025.
Virat Kohli bhai did not want to captain the side - Jitesh Sharma
Jitesh Sharma, who was bought by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for INR 11 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, speculated that Kohli denied captaincy because he has not performed the role on a permanent basis in the last few years.
"I got to know about Rajat Patidar becoming the captain when everyone else got to know. But when you have been around the game for a while, you understand the flow of things. Virat bhai did not want to captain the side.
Virat is very approachable - Jitesh Sharma
Jitesh Sharma also opened up about Virat Kohli's down-to-earth nature, saying that he is very approachable and shares his knowledge with the players.
“I asked how to become more consistent in T20s. He responded that reading the wicket regarding the shots to be played will help you become more consistent. It has helped me in shot selection. He has vast knowledge of the game, but I have to be sensible and intelligent enough to absorb it."
