In an intense Final, his brilliant captaincy helped RCB oust PBKS by 6 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

After the result, the RCB skipper laid praise on Krunal Pandya, who bowled exceptionally well to turn the game in his side's favour, and the skipper further went on to give a token of thanks to RCB fans, who stayed loyal with the franchise over the years.

Here's What Rajat Patidar Said

"I think it is really special for me, special for Virat Kohli and all the fans who have supported us for years. They deserve this. I think after Qualifier 1, we were sure sort of doing this. I think 190 was a good score on this pitch. It was a bit slow. The way our bowlers executed their plans was tremendous to watch."

"Of course, Krunal is a wicket-taking bowler. Whenever I need a wicket and come under pressure, I look out for where KP is. I have a lot of belief in him, Suyash is also the same. He bowled well throughout the same. The fast bowlers have done a great job. Bhuvi, Hazlewood and Dayal did well, and Romario bowled well tonight. The way Romario came in and the way he gave 2-3 overs and the breakthrough was special."

"For me, it is a great opportunity to captain this team and have Virat Kohli playing under me. A great learning for me to captain someone like Kohli. He deserves this more than anyone else. Virat Kohli, all the fans, coaches and support staff deserve this. The way they have supported the players was beautiful."

"I just want to say one line for the fans - EE SALA CUP NAMDU!"
