Rajat Patidar's fearless batting and remarkable consistency have now sparked fresh debates over his selection in the Indian T20I team, with former cricketers Aakash Chopra and Ambati Rayudu providing him with unprecedented backing.
Patidar smashed five fours and nine massive sixes during his breathtaking innings as the Gujarat Titans failed to find any answers to his aggressive intent. The right-hander initially spent some time settling in after RCB lost a couple of wickets, but once he shifted gears, the momentum of the match changed instantly.
RCB also entered an elite list with the win. They became one of the very few franchises in IPL history to qualify for back-to-back finals. Only franchises like Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Titans had previously achieved the feat.

“I think there are about two or three guys whose names I would write first and then build the squad around them, and he is definitely one of them,” Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo.
Will Rajat Patidar Receive India T20I Call-up?
Patidar’s incredible IPL 2026 campaign has undoubtedly strengthened his chances of making it to the Indian T20I team. The right-hander has been among the most destructive batters of the season and has consistently delivered under pressure while also leading RCB brilliantly.
Suryakumar managed only a handful of impactful innings throughout the tournament, while Patidar continued producing match-winning knocks regularly for RCB. With Indian cricket entering a fresh T20 World Cup cycle, selectors could now start looking towards more in-form options.
