Rajat Patidar's Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended their trophy drought earlier this week when they defeated the Punjab Kings by six runs in the IPL 2025 final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to win their first Indian Premier League (IPL) championship.  

A new video, showing Rajat Patidar breaking the captain's protocol for Virat Kohli and allowing the RCB star to sign in front of the camera, has surfaced online. It has become customary in recent years for the IPL winning captain to sign the camera following the final triumph.

Rajat Patidar, however, chose not to perform the act because he wanted Virat Kohli to take center stage and follow suit.

In an unreleased video from Ahmedabad's IPL victory celebrations, Patidar is seen approaching Kohli and pleading with him to come forward and sign the camera.

At first glance, Kohli seems uncertain. To the delight of the whole RCB team, the 36-year-old eventually approached the camera to sign it after being urged to do so.

Rajat Patidar is just the fourth IPL captain after Shane Warne, Rohit Sharma, and Hardik Pandya to win the IPL tournament in his debut season as the skipper.

During the IPL 2025 season, Virat Kohli was RCB's most impressive player, amassing 657 runs in 15 innings with a strike rate of 144.71 and an average of 54.75. Along with smashing eight half-centuries, he did so in a successful way.
