Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, addressing RCB's concerns ahead of IPL 2026, said RCB skipper Rajat Patidar's form in domestic cricket has not been great. "As captain it's very important...that you feel well," he added. Rajat scored 67 runs in three games in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-2026 and amassed 113 runs in eight matches in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-2026.
