Ex-South Africa captain Shaun Pollock said Rajat Patidar would go down as greatest RCB captain. Calling Patidar GOAT, he added, "To have taken over a franchise that'd been so long without winning to that percentage, to get a trophy...it looked like [Patidar is] heading for one and two again." Patidar has 15 wins in his first 20 matches as captain.
