Rajat Patidar has replaced Shubham Sharma as Madhya Pradesh’s Ranji Trophy captain for the 2025-26 season. The 32-year-old had previously refused to lead in first-class cricket but has decided to change his mind. Patidar was Madhya Pradesh’s captain in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT), which means he’s now an all-format skipper for MP.
