In his first four games, Patidar has led RCB to three wins.

However, Patidar has now registered a record that no other captain in IPL history has managed.

Patidar has become the first-ever captain to defeat CSK at Chepauk, MI at Wankhede and KKR at Eden Gardens in the same season.

For the uninitiated, CSK, MI and KKR are the three most successful franchises in IPL history, having won a combined 13 titles.

Previously, Kings XI Punjab had done the same feat in 2012, but it had come under two different captain

KXIP did so with Adam Gilchrist and David Hussey in charge.
