Biography
In an era of style over substance, Rajat Patidar comes from the old school of performance at the domestic levels. Born in Indore, Patidar took to cricket as a bowler and then turned seriously into the game as a batter at the U-15 level. Like several other domestic doyens, Patidar too took his time to blossom as a batter. Having made his domestic debut for Madhya Pradesh during the 2015-16 season, it took the stylish batter a couple of seasons to find his feet. Patidar top-scored for his team in the 2018-19 domestic season and that set himself up for higher honours. A Duleep trophy call-up was soon followed by his first IPL stint, after being brought by the Royals Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of the 2021 season. <br/> <br/> The season didn't go as well as Patidar would've wanted, he did show flashes of his skillful batting, but 71 runs from 4 games wasn't good enough to be retained. He almost missed the gravy train in the next season, but an (un)lucky injury break meant that the same franchise hired him as a replacement. What came later would alter Patidar's career in a massive way. He scored 333 runs at an impressive strike-rate, but it was his innings of 112* in the Eliminator match that earmarked the start of a glittering career, at least at the domestic level. <br/> <br/> Patidar's ability to take on any kind of spin became a folklore story and his stroke-making bordered on the fearless. Another decent season of IPL cricket meant that a national call-up was always on the cards, but it was ironic that Patidar's India caps has been restricted so far to only a single ODI and three Tests. The home Test series against England though proved a dampener for Patidar as nerves shred through his batting, known for his ability to play spin, he struggled against the three English spinners, falling to them twice in each Test. <br/> <br/> Patidar's failures at the red-ball level meant a quick return to domestics and he was named as captain of Madhya Pradesh for the 20
