"VAN" (Sports Desk - 04.06.2025) :: As captain of RCB & Virat Kohli specially, Rajat Patidar's feeling were on-the-top after won the IPL 2025 & he showed each & everything in below discussion:-
Rajat: I think it is really special for me and special for Virat Kohli and all the fans. Those who have supported from years, so I think they all deserve it. You had a very consistent season, but when did it actually cross your mind that you have a chance of actually winning the trophy? At what stage of the IPL? I think you are talking about this game.
Which stage did you think that you can actually win the IPL?
Rajat: I think after the qualifier 1. At that time we thought that we can do well this season.
And when you were restricted to 190, you thought that was par for the course or you thought you needed some more runs?
Rajat: I think 190 score was good on this track because it was a bit slow and the way bowler executed their plans, that was tremendous to watch. Inspiring move to give Krunal Pandey the ball at that stage and he did a fabulous job. What a spell from him. 4 overs, 2 for 17. Of course, he is a wicket-winning bowler.
Whenever I come under pressure, I look where is KP. So, I had a lot of belief in him. With KP, I think Suyash also bowled really well throughout the season and all the bowlers, fast bowler, Bhuvi, Yash, Hazlewood.
And the way Romario came in and the way he gave 2-3 overs and that breakthrough, I think that was really special.
You mentioned Virat Kohli, 18 years with the same franchise and under your captaincy wins it now.
Rajat: For me, it's a great opportunity to do captaincy under him and it was a great learning for me. And as I said, I think he deserves more than anyone else who has supported everyone, the management, support staff, coaching staff. I think the way they have supported every player, I think that was beautiful.
