RCB captain Rajat Patidar reveals his pick for the greatest T20 batter of all time: Chris Gayle. Learn why Gayle beat out other legends and hear about Kohli's support.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar has named Chris Gayle as the greatest T20 batter. Patidar, who led RCB to two IPL titles in 2025 and 2026, made his selection after careful consideration.

Gayle's impressive IPL record includes 4,965 runs in 142 matches, with 31 fifties and six centuries. His tenure with RCB alone yielded 3,163 runs in 85 matches, featuring 19 fifties and five hundreds.

Patidar also reflected on his captaincy, expressing gratitude for the backing of Virat Kohli. He noted that Kohli's support was instrumental in his selection for the captaincy role, a significant responsibility given RCB's large fanbase and high expectations.

During the selection process on a YouTube channel, Patidar initially favored Rohit Sharma, then AB de Villiers, before ultimately choosing Gayle in a challenging matchup between two RCB icons.
