The game of cricket has popularized a lot of sportsman in the world. However, with fame comes some consequences that could impact the personal lives of the players. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar experienced one of these hilarious consequences as a young man from was allotted his unused number.

‌The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League witnessed one of the historic moments in the tournament as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally won their first title after an 18-year wait. Though it was Virat Kohli and Josh Hazlewood who were the top performers of the franchise, the man who led the team to their first title was Rajat Patidar. This made the 32-year-old Madhya Pradesh batter a popular figure for all the RCB fans, as he has managed to achieve what no other RCB skipper has done. Patidar had a fairly decent season with the bat as well, scoring 312 runs at an average of 24 and a strike rate of 143.77. Though these achievements have made him a popular figure in cricket, this newfound fame has also resulted in him getting caught in some hilarious circumstances.
The problems started as the middle-order batter’s number was allotted to a young 21-year-old man from the Gariband district. Manish had gotten the SIM card from the Devbhog mobile shop in Late June and set up a WhatsApp account, which displayed a profile photo of Patidar, which he and his friends thought was a minor glitch. Manish, in the end, started to get calls from the RCB skipper,s teammates, which included legends in the form of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, who started to address him as ‘Rajat’. This was enough for the Police to get involved in the case with the district's SP Nikhil Rakhecha and explain the hilarious turn of events that took place due to one unused number.
“It was a WhatsApp number and had probably not been in use for the last six months. As per company rules, a number that remains unused for over six months is allotted to other customers, which might have led to the allotment to the Devbhog youth. We have now returned the number to cricketer Rajat Patidar,” the SP said.
The fans on social media were in splits after hearing of these events
