The Madhya Pradesh batter Rajat Patidar was recently expected to be ready to play for RCB at some point this season, but they have now been dealt a devastating blow. Last season, Patidar, who was brought in as a replacement player, had a significant effect, scoring 333 runs at a strike rate of over 150.<\/p>\n
Rajat Patidar\u2019s season-long absence dealt Royal Challengers Bangalore a setback on Tuesday (April 4). The 29-year-old batter was receiving treatment at the NCA for an Achilles\u2019 heel problem.<\/p>\n
Last year, he won the Eliminator with fantastic ton and was also in excellent condition during the domestic season.
