'Stay Calm, Live In The Moment': Kishan Reveals Captaincy Mantra Ahead Of IPL 2026
Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) stand-in captain Ishan Kishan has spoken about his leadership approach ahead of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is set to commence on March 28. SRH will start their IPL campaign against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 28. Kishan, who made a surprise return to the Indian T20I side ahead of the T20 World Cup, will lead the team for the first time in his career in the absence of Pat Cummins, who is set to miss the opening matches of the tournament. In a video released by the franchise, Kishan spoke about his ambition to captain the side and how he loves the leadership role and also explained his approach of keeping things simple and enjoying the game. I've always wanted to be a leader of the team, you know, and take the team forward from whatever situation. So, I'm very overwhelmed, and I'm very happy that I got this opportunity to lead this team. And to be very honest, I'm gonna just keep it simple, not to do so much because when players come to IPL, I think they're all very good players, he said in a video released by SRH. You just need to make sure that they are on the right track and their mindset doesn't change after a few innings, going here and there. And the rest is, you know, it's gonna be a good season, I guess, and we'll just do it together, the skipper added. Kishan also revealed his captaincy mantra and said that under his leadership the team will focus on the present and look at one match at a time. The most important thing for a cricketer is to be in a very good headspace throughout the season. You know, what matters the most is if you are calm, if you are composed and you're just aware of the situation of what's happening and what's needed for the team, you're gonna do well, he said. So, mostly this season, we'll make sure that we just stay present, we just keep it simple, and do as much hard work as we can before the match starts. But in the match, we're just gonna enjoy the game and take one match at a time, Kishan added. The wicketkeeper-batter also asked for support from the fans as the team prepares to end their ten-year drought of an IPL trophy. On behalf of my team, I would love to say thank you so much for being part of this journey. And this season is gonna be special. We'll need your support. We'll need your love. We're gonna play our best cricket, he said. So, mostly this season, we'll make sure that we just stay present, we just keep it simple, and do as much hard work as we can before the match starts. But in the match, we're just gonna enjoy the game and take one match at a time, Kishan added.

From Truck Drivers Sacrifice To Rs. 5.2 Crore Glory: Mangesh Yadavs Inspiring Rise To RCB
Madhya Pradesh T20 League: Before Mangesh Yadav ever pitched a ball in professional cricket, his father Ramavadh Yadav worked overnight, contemplating how he would secure funds for his sons dream. He invested all his resources in a boy who initially played cricket in a modest courtyard with his mother. Today, Mangesh Yadav has a contract worth Rs. 5.2 crore with the reigning champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Reflecting on their financial woes, Mangeshs father said, I had to struggle a lot for money. Sometimes I couldnt sleep at night, thinking about how I would raise money for him. The life of a truck driver is no life at all. You dont have time to eat or bathe. When the truck is full, you worry about offloading, and when its empty, you have to worry about filling it up. A 23-year-old from Borgaon in Madhya Pradeshs Chhindwara district, raised in humble conditions, developed his cricket skills early on. His uncle recognised his talent at tennis tournaments and motivated him to go to Delhi to train with coach Phool Chand Sharma. The 23-year-old said, If I am playing cricket today it is because of Phool Chand sir. When I went to Delhi, my father had given me Rs 24,000 with great difficulty. I dont even know how that money got over in the first month. His father often had to contact people close to him to arrange the funds required for Mangeshs training. Phool Chand Sharma said, Mangesh was staying with someone in Delhi. I saw that he was a good bowler, but he didnt even have enough to eat. I told him to come and stay at the hostel. Thats where his journey really began. I dont care if someone has money or not. If the player is good, he can come, eat, stay, and practice. Mangesh also recalled a brief phase where he lost focus. I had started becoming lazy. One day sir called me and told me to pack my bag and go home. After some time, I apologised and told him it wouldnt happen again. Then I realised what I was missing and what I had. I looked at my family and thought, Dad is working so hard. Everyone is so dedicated for me. Eager to seize the opportunity, the young fast bowler dedicated himself fully to training. He competed in the DDCA league, local tournaments, and even attended the UP U-19 camp, yet the next step still remained out of reach. His father added, There were times he would go all the way to a selection camp, and he would be told his name had been called by mistake. Those were the days I felt helpless, like I had made a grave mistake by giving my son this dream. The pivotal moment occurred during the Madhya Pradesh T20 League, when Mangesh took 14 wickets in six matches with an impressive average of 12.00. After playing for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket alongside RCB captain Rajat Patidar, he finally received the long-awaited call from Royal Challengers Bangalore. At the trials, his ability to adapt to different match situations was put under the scanner. At the trials, DK [Dinesh Karthik] sir came up to me and said, You are bowling well. Now show me this ball. He made me bowl in different situations; with the new ball, the fifth over, the tenth over, the fourteenth over, and even the eighteenth and twentieth overs. It was surprising for me to see how a player at that level thinks. After the auction, Mangesh appreciated the coach who had supported him throughout the journey. When I came back to the club, I just wanted to meet him and touch his feet, thank him for trusting me and investing so much.

Rajat Patidars Historic Rise: From Unsold Player to RCBs IPL 2025 Title-Winning Captain
History will always remember that Rajat Patidar was appointed as RCB captain on February 13, 2025, and by June 3, 2025 he had led the team to its maiden and most awaited IPL title. For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in the final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was the culmination of the ups and downs, seen in the 18 seasons of the IPL. For skipper Rajat Patidar, it was a history-making moment because he had achieved something which some other big names, while leading the side, couldnt achieve. However, this all puts extra pressure on his young shoulders as now RCB are the defending champions. Rajat Patidar won an IPL Trophy, after leading the side in only 13 matches and is at par with Rohit Sharma in this respect. The number of matches taken as a captain to win an IPL Trophy by some others: Hardik Pandya and Shane Warne (15 matches), Adam Gilchrist (24), David Warner (33), MS Dhoni (43), Gautam Gambhir (47) and Shreyas Iyer (70). He is the sixth Indian and ninth captain overall to win the IPL trophy. Another outstanding record generally missed is that Shane Warne and Rajat Patidar are the only 2 captains to have won the IPL, but have never played a T20 International for their respective nations. The Madhya Pradesh cricketer has a chance to play. Shane Warne played in the IPL after he had retired from International cricket and many consider him to be one of the unluckiest not to captain as well as not to play T20 Internationals. Incidentally, both Warne and Rajat won IPL titles in their first season as IPL captain. Warne couldnt add another IPL title to his record, but Rajat Patidar can enter his name in the history books by defending the title. So, at the moment, Rajat is the first Indian cricketer to win the IPL title as captain without playing a T20I for his national team. The right-hand batsman has so far played three Tests and one ODI, Rajat Patidar was taken up by RCB, ahead of IPL 2021 and the start was not very encouraging. After playing only four games that season (and scoring only 71 runs), he was released. In the auction for the 2022 season, he was on the unsold list as none of the ten sides took any interest in the 29-year-old batter from MP, but destiny had written another story. The mid-season injury to Luvnith Sisodia created a vacancy in the RCB dug-out, and they signed him for the remainder of the season for the price of INR 20 Lakh. He was unsold, unnoticed, and with nothing to lose, he joined. This replacement player ended the season as their third-highest run-scorer (333 at a strike rate of 152.75). He made headlines for scoring 112* off 54 balls in the Eliminator played against Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens. This career turning point performance earned him a maiden call-up to the Indian ODI squad against South Africa. A Test debut followed soon after, against England in Visakhapatnam. 2023 would have been a season to establish him in the side, but he missed the entire season due to an injury. However, he returned with a bang in the 2024 season (395 runs from 13 innings). A replacement player of Rs. 20 lacs in 2022 was retained by the side for Rs 11 crore ahead of the mega auction. With Faf du Plessis leaving the franchise, Rajat was named as the captain for the 2025 season (the 4th Indian and 8th overall captain of RCB). The team has no regrets about their choice. The 2025 IPL edition was a season of reckoning for the RCB. Their women's side had won the WPL title in 2024 and now many senior men faced the challenge to match them. RCB played with such a vengeance that they became the first team in the IPL to win all the away matches and looked like champions. Rajat scored 312 runs in 15 matches, including two half-centuries, against CSK and MI. Only Virat Kohli (657) and Phil Salt (403) scored more runs than him in the season. So a replacement player led RCB to their first IPL title in 18 years. What a turnaround, were the words from Kohli for Rajat and he added, Injury replacement to IPL-winning captain, bloody hell, that's a turnaround. He also gave Rajat one of his bats, which the RCB skipper accepted with a kiss on the willow. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He is such a devoted cricketer that he sacrificed a lot in his personal life, especially his marriage. Rajat had to postpone his wedding to Gunjan Patidar repeatedly due to his cricket commitments. However, unlike other wives, Gunjan is rarely seen in the stands but was there for him when he lifted the IPL Trophy.
