Then when I also became the captain of Madhya Pradesh State Team, I got experience. After this, when my name started coming with Virat for the captaincy of RCB, it was better. Now I have become a captain finally. Let us know that if the IPL price is seen, Virat Kohli was retained by the team for 21 crores, while Rajat has received Rs 11 crore.

Silver Patidar will captain IPL for the first time
Let us know that this will be his opportunity to become captain for the first time in the IPL. However, he captained the T20 (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy) of Madhya Pradesh and ODI (Vijay Hazare Trophy) team in the 2024-25 season.
