RCB Suffers Major Setback as Rajat Patidar Ruled Out of IPL 2023
Achilles Heel Injury Forces Key Batsman to Miss Crucial Matches
Patidar Likely to Miss First Half of IPL Campaign
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been dealt a significant blow ahead of their upcoming clash with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as star batsman Rajat Patidar has been ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season due to an Achilles heel injury.
Patidar, who had earlier been ruled out of the ongoing IPL campaign, will now miss the remainder of the season after undergoing an MRI scan on April 14th. The scan revealed the extent of the injury, prompting the RCB medical team to withdraw him from the tournament.
The absence of Patidar is a major setback for RCB, who were counting on the young batsman to provide stability to their batting lineup. Patidar has been a key performer for the team in recent seasons, scoring over 500 runs in the last edition of the IPL.
With Patidar out, RCB will need to find a suitable replacement who can fill the void left by the injured batsman. The team has several options to consider, including the likes of Anuj Rawat, Suyash Prabhudessai, and Shahbaz Ahmed.
The loss of Patidar is particularly unfortunate for RCB, who are currently struggling in the IPL 2023 season. The team has won only one of their first four matches and will be hoping to turn things around in their upcoming clash against KKR.
