Interestingly, Patidar was initially set to get married in May 2022. However, he had to postpone his wedding after being called up by RCB as a replacement player that year. He smashed a century against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator and caught everyone's attention.

From being called as a replacement player, the right-hander was retained at his base price for the next two seasons in 2023 and 2024. However, he missed the 2023 season due to injury and returned next year.
