But now a ceasefire has been announced between the two countries and the tournament is expected to start soon. But meanwhile, a shocking revelation has been revealed about Royal Challengers Bangalore. Actually, the RCB was going to change her captain in the middle of the season. Jitesh Sharma was to be given the command of the team by removing Rajat Patidar. But the IPL was suspended due to the Pakistani attack and the decision was postponed. Jitesh himself has told this.

Why did RCB want to make Jitesh captain?
Royal Challengers Bangalore was scheduled to play her 12th match against Lucknow Super Giants on 9 May at Ekana Stadium. During this, Jitesh Sharma was going to captain the team. Actually, RCB’s current captain Rajat Patidar was injured. Due to injury, he was going to sit on the bench against Lucknow. In such a situation, the management gave Jitesh a chance to handle the team. But then the IPL had to be suspended due to increasing tension and attacks between India and Pakistan. In this way, this big opportunity slipped from his hand.
