In the midst of the decision and the suspension of the Premier League of India (IPL) 2025, the franchises have begun to send their players home. In a video released by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) today, some surprising news were released. Before the IPL suspension, the Captain of the RCB Rajat patidated succumbed to a wrist injury. Among the updates prior to the party shared by RCB last week, Patidar’s arm was covered with a splint. As a result, Wicktkeeper-Batter JITESH Sharma was scheduled for Captain RCB for his Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) accessory at Ekana Stadium on May 9.

In the video, Jitesh talked about how he was anxious to lead RCB in his next accessory.

He said: “I was very grateful for the opportunity I gave me. They were giving me the opportunity for Captain of RCB and it is a big thing for me and my family. I was thinking about what the correct combination would be because both, Devdutt [Padikkal] And Rajat was not available and it was a great responsibility to replace them. And depending on the position we were in the points table, we would have won this game. All this was happening in my head and all meetings with coaches and players in those 2-3 days, batting order, discussions with bowling players. I had fun. “

With this video update, the RCB franchise has also made it clear that the nation is first.

Patidar quotes: “This is the right decision taken, to stop the IPL because the country is the first. Whenever BCCI repeats it, we will be ready.”

According to the current tensions between India and Pakistan, IPL cannot be resumed for another week. Subsequently, Patidar can be in form by then, and this can be a lost opportunity for JITESH to lead the RCB this season.

In the eight games that hit RCB, JITESH has made 128 races at an attack rate of 142.22. It has often been useful with burning cameos in the lower medium order. He has also maintained Wickts for the team.

In 2024, Jitesh had taken Punjab Kings in his last League match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. I was undefeated after 32 of 15 balls to take the total to 214. However, Punjab lost his last game and ended ninth in the points table.

JITESH said: “No, I never thought about that [captaincy]. Frankly speaking, I never considered that the captaincy were looking at me. If I were in the RCB Management, I would also have chosen Rajat, you deserve it. He is the type of RCB and has served for years. I just joined. I can help in its last year, since Rajat and I belong to the central area and we have played the Cricket together. We already have a strong bond. And all Indian players in RCB will also support him. ”
