‘Ab toh addat he hai players ruled out hone ki’ – Fans react to Rajat Patidar being ruled out of the Indian T20 League
Rajat Patidar was officially ruled out today from the Indian T20 League 2023 due to his inability to fully heal from an achilles heel injury. When announcing the news, his franchise, Bangalore, stated that they have opted not to name an alternative player for Rajat and might look into all possible options before choosing one.
Patidar, had been receiving rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy of the Indian Cricket Board in Bengaluru over the previous few days. It was earlier believed that he will not be available to play the first half of the 2023 Indian T20 League season; originally, it was suggested that he rest until mid-April. Prior to reporting to the Royal Challengers preseason training, Patidar had sustained the injury.
He wasn’t selected at the mega auction before the season, but after Luvnith Sisodia injured himself, he joined Bangalore as a substitute. In the Eliminator, he made a statement by scoring the tournament’s quickest hundred by an Indian.
He ended the year as Bangalore’s third-highest run scorer, trailing only Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. He had a strike rate of 152.75 and scored 333 runs in seven games. Patidar was selected for India’s ODI team last year. He was picked in the squad thanks to his exploits in the Indian T20 League accomplishments and outstanding performances in a Ranji Trophy championship-winning campaign with Madhya Pradesh.
Bangalore, who began the 2023 season with a commanding eight-wicket win over Mumbai, have other worries besides Patidar’s unavailability. Josh Hazlewood’s involvement is also in question because of his quick recovery from Achilles tendonitis. They also had to suffer a setback with Will Jacks, who had been replaced with Michael Bracewell after being declared ineligible for the competition a few weeks prior to its start.
Reece Topley additionally picked up an injury to his shoulder during the first game as well as played no further role in it, though he afterwards flew with the squad to Kolkata, where the franchise will face their next match on Thursday.
