Ex-India batter Mohammad Kaif opined that Virat Kohli would've played a major role in Rajat Patidar being appointed as the new RCB captain. "Even if Kohli isn't the captain of the side, it's his job to tell the management to buy certain players and back them," he said. "So, if Patidar has become captain, Kohli is behind it," Kaif stated.
