‘I always observe Virat Kohli batting from the back……’ – Rajat Patidar on India’s swashbuckling batter ahead of 2nd Test vs England

Team India is all set to face England in the second Test match slated to take place on February 2. Notably, Rohit Sharma and Co. have lost the first Test game, and now they are set to play the second Test game in the absence of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul. However, Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan will be looking to fill the voids to help India win the second Test to level up the series by 1-1.

Speaking about the same subject, India’s star cricketer, Rajat Patidar, was over the moon after his selection in the Test. In addition, the Indore-born cricketer says that it was his happiest moment when he got his call for the Test. The stylish right-handed batter says that he felt very great after the India call-up and that it was his dream to represent his country on the red ball of the game.

“Getting my first Test call up soon after my recovery has to be my happiest moment. It was my dream to represent my country in Test cricket. It felt very good to get that call. I was playing India A matches and felt very good on getting that call,” Rajat Patidar said during the chat with the Indian Cricket Board.
