RCB beat the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the same place they won the title last year, and won back-to-back IPL titles, with both coming under Patidar's captaincy.
After the final, Rajat Patidar spoke in the press conference about what turned RCB into back-to-back IPL champions.
Patidar said that even though he didn't show it on his face, he was always aware of what to do as a captain on the field, and the gears were always turning in his head.
"I have learnt a lot from him" - Rajat Patidar on Faf du Plessis
On his captaincy and how he conducted himself, Patidar credited former RCB captain Faf du Plessis, saying he had learnt many things from the South African.
Just before IPL 2025, RCB appointed Omkar Salvi as their fast-bowling coach. Till then, Salvi had served as the Head Coach of Mumbai in domestic cricket.
Since then, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Rasikh Salam Dar have built one of the best pace bowling line-ups of the IPL.
“I have seen Omkar Salvi sir since I started my first Ranji season. From there, I have been watching him,” he said.
"There has been a change in mindset" - Patidar
When asked what the reason was behind RCB going from no trophies in 18 years to winning back-to-back IPL titles, Patidar said that the mindset had changed.
“The culture has definitely changed, but I cannot compare with before because I have only played since 2021,” he said. “What I see now is a change in mindset. The coaching staff deserves full credit. They treat every player equally – whether experienced or new. That is the biggest change I see," Patidar added.
"This is the best birthday gift for me" - Patidar
