Royal Challengers Bangalore has got a huge blow in the form of Rajat Patidar. He has been ruled out of the tournament due to an Achilles Heel injury. He is now in National Cricket Academy (NCA), and medical staff are treating his injury with full responsibility.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore team has not yet announced the replacement of Rajat. However, discussions have started on who will replace Rajat in the RCB camp. Abhimanyu Easwaran’s name is leading the race to replace Rajat.
- The record of Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is commanding India-A, has been excellent in all three formats of cricket. He averages 45.33 in 78 first-class matches and has scored over 5000 runs. At the same time, in List-A cricket too, Abhimanyu has scored more than 3000 runs. Regarding the T20 record, Abhimanyu has scored 728 runs in 27 matches in this format.
- Rohan Kunnummal’s performances in domestic cricket have been impressive recently. This young opener from Kerala has impressed a lot with his stormy batting. Rohan has scored four centuries in the last five matches in first-class cricket. Rohan also showed a strong performance with the bat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and played an explosive inning of 77 runs in 28 balls against Arunachal Pradesh.
- Uttar Pradesh’s left-arm spin bowler Saurabh Kumar can also replace Rajat Patidar in the RCB camp. Saurabh’s spin was fierce in the 2019-20 domestic season, and he took 44 wickets. Saurabh’s performance in the Ranji Trophy was unmatched, and after that, he also made a place in India’s Test team.
