As the IPL 2025 will kick off with an electrifying opener between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the buzz on social media is already setting the tone for the madness that is about to unfold. 

During a lighthearted chat in RCB's popular ‘Mr. Nags’ segment, new RCB captain Rajat Patidar found himself on the receiving end of some playful banter when he revealed he never used to watch the RCB show. 

Mr. Nags Revives Last Year’s MI's Captaincy Fiasco

Mr. Nags seized the moment, asking, “So, Rajat, you became captain, all former RCB skippers have given you their approval, like Virat and Faf messaged you. Do you think other teams should follow a similar strategy while announcing captaincy?” 

Patidar responded, "I'm sorry, I never followed what's going on and what's not going on." But Mr. Nags, with a grin, twisted it into a hilarious jab at Mumbai Indians’ captaincy drama, saying, “Oh, so innocent, Rajat. You really don't know? Really, I don’t know? Then why are you smiling? See, basically, he said 'MI nahi janta ‘MI.’

The cleverly comment reignited the debate on Mumbai’s unsmooth captaincy transition last year. Mr. Nags’ playful trolling of MI and their management’s handling of the captaincy change has sparked a fresh wave of discussions.

The incident brings back memories of the MI's leadership shift that saw Hardik Pandya take over from Rohit Sharma in 2024. The move, which was met with significant backlash from fans, including boos at Wankhede Stadium, remains a sore point in the MI camp.

Talking about this season, RCB, under the new leadership of Rajat Patidar, will face off against Mumbai Indians on April 7 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
