Rajat Patidar has a chance to make history by accomplishing something that no one has ever done before him. For the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, take home the Indian Premier League trophy. Prior to him, numerous stories have pursued the IPL title. Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Daniel Vettori, Anil Kumble, and Rahul Dravid. The list continues. Nevertheless, none of them succeeded. In his debut, Patidar has guided RCB to an IPL final, which is their fourth overall. Despite what you say, they are the favorites going into the final tonight against a red-hot Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad.

Due to the IPL's schedule, captains have little opportunity to hold pre-match meetings. Therefore, it was a welcome change of pace when the two captains, Patidar and Shreyas Iyer, spoke to the media in advance of the IPL championship. The two captains of the finalists held the trophy in front of them and the 'gold' ware, hoping for one last chance at fame. Recall that these are two of the only three teams from the original eight in 2008 that have never won the IPL, but that will all change tonight.

Nonetheless, RCB supporters are concerned as the tournament approaches its conclusion. It's more than simply the typical butterflies in your stomach and jitters. It's been an interminable wait for them as well, much like it has for the players, notably Virat Kohli. They are posting images of their favorite celebrities alongside idols of gods and saying prayers in temples. It's that important. However, at the same time, some fans couldn't help but see anything that seemed to have undermined their faith.

Oh no! What have you done, Rajat Patidar?

The cameras captured Patidar staring at the trophy during the press conference, and fans couldn't help but draw parallels between this and the 2023 World Cup, when Rohit Sharma was seen gazing at the trophy. Regretfully, we all know how it ended, and RCB fans are worried that the same thing will happen to their squad tonight at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Here are some of the reactions:

Moment of truth for Punjab Kings and their captain Shreyas Iyer

For Punjab Kings, this is their second IPL final. They last and the only other time they made it to the summit clash of the Indian Premier League was 11 years ago, when they lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. As much as winning the IPL means to PBKS and its owner Preity Zinta, it's equally big for captain Shreyas Iyer, who will be eyeing his second successive IPL title – albeit with different teams.
