"Not worried about my wicket": RCB skipper Patidar after sealing second successive IPL final spot
May 26, 2026
RCB under Patidar continues to be a gift that keeps on giving to its legion of loyal fans. After waiting 17 years for their maiden title, they sealed their first-ever IPL trophy at Ahmedabad last year and now have made it to their second-successive final after a 92-run win over GT. Patidar's stupendous 93* in 33 balls took RCB to a massive 254/5, which GT never looked like chasing, despite some resistance from Jos Buttler and Rahul Tewatia as Jacob Duffy and Bhuvneshwar Kumar broke the back of GT's batting by taking out the top-three in the powerplay itself.
