Career Overview/ Highlight : Rajat Patidar IPL 2021 to 2024
Rajat Patidar is a classic rags-to-riches story. Having made his debut in 2021 for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he was snubbed for the next season despite impressing in the limited opportunities that he got.
He didn’t let himself get disheartened and instead rushed to the nets to improve his game. With luck on his side, he was recalled to the franchise as a replacement for Luvnith Sisodia in the IPL 2022 season. Patidar knew this was his opportunity and grabbed it with both hands.
He slammed 333 runs in eight games. His notable knock came against the Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator. The Indore-born cricketer hit a century in the match that helped his team seal a place in the Qualifier 2. Patidar missed out on the 2023 season due to an injury.
