Rajat Patidar has been named as an Impact Player for RCB against SRH in IPL 2025.

As the two captains came out for the toss in Match 65 of the ongoing IPL 2025, Pat Cummins was the usual suspect from the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp. But the face in red, representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru, was not Rajat Patidar. Instead, Jitesh Sharma is captaining RCB in the match with a top-two place on the line for the franchise. For SRH, though, this game holds no bearing as they’ve already been eliminated.At the toss, Jitesh got the luck of the coin and decided to field. In the chat with Ravi Shastri, Jitesh revealed Patidar is not fully out of the game and can come in later as the Impact Player.

 

He also revealed the team’s change in Devdutt Padikkal not playing with Mayank Agarwal coming in.”We have raised our bar and we are looking to top the table. We are not complacent. We want to play the playoffs on top. The ways the seniors have handled the juniors have created a good atmosphere and cricketing culture. RCB always enjoy their cricket. We want to win every game,” said Jitesh.”Rajat is the impact player. Mayank is going to replace Padikkal,” he added.Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have three changes, including Travis Head coming in. The Aussie had been out in the previous game as he had tested COVID-19 positive. The other inclusions are Abhinav Manohar and Jaydev Unadkat.”We have been playing well in the last few games. The ceiling of our side is pretty high. I am feeling good, thanks. Shami and I have been bowling, getting our workloads up,” said Cummins.Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarawal, Jitesh Sharma(w/c), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Lungi Ngidi, Suyash SharmaRoyal Challengers Bengaluru Impact Subs: Rajat Patidar, Rasikh Dar Salam Manoj Bhandage, Swapnil SinghSunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins(c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan MalingaSunrisers Hyderabad Impact Subs: Mohammad Shami, Harsh Dubey, Sachin Baby, Zeeshan Ansari, Simarjeet Singh.
