When the management left out Faf du Plessis from the retention list and didn’t go for them in the mega auction, many speculated that Virat Kohli might get the leadership in the department. But the selectors decided to show full confidence in young Patidar, who, as announced by the franchise, would be the captain of the side for the next five years.
RCB will then return home for the first home game of the season at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium against the Gujarat Titans on April 02. Next, they will make a trip to the Wankhede Stadium for another mouth-watering clash against the Mumbai Indians. RCB’s second home game of the edition will be against the Delhi Capitals.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru faces Punjab Kings on successive occasions
The three-time runners-up of the tournament will be up against the Punjab Kings on back-to-back encounters, the first of which will be at home on April 18, before they face the same side in two days away. Back home, they will be against the Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s last two group-stage fixtures will be against the Sunrisers and the Knight Riders on May 13 and 17. The pressure will be huge on the young shoulders of Patidar, who, besides leading the side, will have to be careful with his batting in the new edition. His contribution will decide RCB’s performance against the spinners in the middle overs after the aggressive opening stand of Kohli and Phil Salt.
