Rajat Patidar says Virat Kohli backed Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s decision to make him captain. Speaking after the leadership change, Patidar describes Kohli’s support as part of the team environment around the move.
The reporting centers on Patidar’s comments about his interaction with Kohli and how Kohli’s stance influenced the transition into the captaincy role. Both outlets highlight that Patidar presents Kohli as someone who does not resist such decisions and instead supports the team’s plan.
While the sources differ slightly in phrasing, they agree on the core point: Patidar attributes at least part of the smoothness of his captaincy appointment to Kohli’s backing. Neither source adds details on the specific decision-making process by the franchise or the exact circumstances leading to the appointment beyond Patidar’s account.
