Mo Bobat, the director of cricket for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), attributes the team’s success in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) to their “hunter mindset.” Despite winning the title last year, RCB has maintained a relentless drive to continue improving and striving for more. Bobat emphasizes the importance of staying focused on the next goal and not becoming complacent.
RCB has already secured a spot in the knockout stage with 18 points and aims to finish at the top of the points table. Bobat highlights the challenge of managing a diverse group of players, from young rookies to seasoned veterans, and ensuring they are all aligned in their efforts.
The team’s captain, Rajat Patidar, is commended for his unique leadership style, which involves trusting the management team and focusing on in-game tactics. Patidar’s evolution as a captain over the past two seasons has been impressive, as he has developed a stronger sense of how he wants the team to play and improved his decision-making on the field.
Despite the presence of senior players like Virat Kohli, Patidar has effectively managed the team dynamics and continues to grow in his role as captain. Bobat acknowledges the challenges Patidar faces in balancing the inputs from different players but praises his growth and evolution as a leader.
Overall, RCB’s success in the IPL can be attributed to their unwavering commitment to maintaining a “hunter mindset” and constantly striving for improvement. Published on May 19, 2026.
