The IPL 2025 will reportedly resume on May 16 or 17, with the final set to take place in Ahmedabad instead of Kolkata on May 30 or June 1.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Patidar, who has been leading the side quite well, suffered an injury during the IPL 2025 match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 3.
Patidar would not have been able to play at least a couple of matches for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League 2025 if the tournament had not been suspended for one week.

In case the competition had continued without any interruptions, the star wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma would have been handed the RCB captaincy responsibility with Rajat Patidar injured. He was set to lead the team in the match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday.
"I was very grateful for the opportunity given to me. They were giving me an opportunity to captain RCB, and it's a very big thing for me and my family. I was thinking of what the right combination would be because both Devdutt [Padikkal] and Rajat were not available, and it was a big responsibility to replace them.
Rajat Patidar injury update
Patidar is currently recovering very well from his finger injury. However, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are being extra cautious with him as they want him fully fit for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
He reached Bengaluru on Saturday from Lucknow alongside his RCB teammates and is quite optimistic about playing the remainder of the season.
Notably, RCB have more injuries/ availability issues in camp as Phil Salt missed a few matches will illness, Devdutt Padikkal got ruled out of the competition, while Josh Hazlewood suffered a shoulder niggle.
