IPL: Why is Rajat Patidar not playing in RCB vs SRH? Who is the captain?

In a surprising turn, Jitesh Sharma is leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Sunrisers Hyderabad, replacing Rajat Patidar who was named as Impact Player. RCB, aiming for a top-two finish, won the toss and elected to field, bringing in Mayank Agarwal for Devdutt Padikkal. Sunrisers Hyderabad, already eliminated, included Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar, and Jaydev Unadkat in their lineup.
