What we did in 2025 has passed, we're not here to defend anything: RCB skipper Rajat Patidar

Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar stated the team is focused on winning the IPL 2026 trophy, not defending their 2025 title. He praised Virat Kohli's batting and Jacob Duffy's bowling after their six-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team also observed a minute's silence for fans lost in a stampede last year.
