Virat Kohli is unlikely to lead RCB in IPL 2025, prompting the franchise to consider internal options for captaincy. Rajat Patidar has emerged as the leading candidate, with Krunal Pandya also in contention. A captaincy announcement is expected at a special media gathering on February 13. Patidar led Madhya Pradesh to Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final this year where they lost to Mumbai in the title clash. He was the second-highest run-getter this season with 428 runs in nine innings.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/virat-kohli-unlikely-to-be-rcb-captain-rajat-patidar-frontrunner-to-lead-krunal-pandya-also-an-option/articleshow/118186048.cms
