Rajat Patidar Celebrates Birth of Baby Boy Ahead of IPL 2026

The RCB Captain is now celebrating the joy of becoming a father. Recently, he welcomed his newborn baby boy right before the upcoming IPL season. Fans are celebrating this moment with joy, as the Junior Patidar gets welcomed to the world.

Rajat Patidar has another moment to cherish with his family, as he has been blessed with a baby boy. Right before the IPL 2026, the RCB skipper has been blessed with a newborn, coming as a big positive for him. Several fans are also making theories that RCB is winning another title this year.

Last season, Phil Salt was blessed with a baby boy right before the tournament finals. He reached back to the team's camp and played the finals, allowing RCB to win the same. It even happened with Virat Kohli, as he welcomed his son Akaay in 2024, and the Women's team already won the title the same year.

Every cricket fan is now congratulating Patidar for the same. And it is also a moment of double celebration for the team and fans. On the same day, Dinesh Karthik, who plays a crucial role in RCB's coaching staff, was also blessed with a baby. It will be a joint party in the RCB camp for both Patidar and Karthik.

Our Take

Rajat Patidar has made several achievements for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, ever since he joined the team. Back in IPL 2022, he was called back from his wedding to play the Eliminator for the team. He called off his wedding, and postponed it to a further date, going on to play the same. And it was all worth it for him and his wife.

Patidar scored a brilliant century in the game, taking RCB to the next stage. And with him being announced as the new skipper, he also went on to break the team's wait to win an IPL title. Patidar took RCB to the finals and even helped the team to win its first title in 18 years. Now, he has been blessed with a newborn baby, which comes in as another celebration moment.
