IPL 2023: Rajat Patidar is not playing for RCB in IPL. However, he was included in the team but was ruled out due to injury. If we look at the matches played so far, the performance of RCB has not been that special. Meanwhile, former team player AB de Villiers has made an important announcement.
Rajat Patidar scored 112 against Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL playoff match last year. This time also, eyes were going to be on him, but it could not happen. This season Rajat Patidar was seen in a significant role for RCB.
In a conversation with RCB Insider, AB de Villiers described Rajat Patidar as a big player for RCB in the future. During this, de Villiers was asked if they wanted to give his number 17 jersey to any player, then who would it be? De Villiers took the name of Rajat Patidar.
Responding to the question, de Villiers said it is difficult to ask. Maybe he will be Rajat Patidar. I want to name him ‘The PATA Man’. He looks good and will be a big player for RCB in times to come. I want to give my jersey to someone young, and maybe it will be Rajat Patidar.
There was also a reaction from de Villiers regarding Faf du Plessis becoming the captain of RCB. He said that I thought du Plessis was the right choice to become the captain of RCB. He noted that Faf du Plessis would be successful in winning the trophy for the team. Faf du Plessis will be happy to come to RCB.

Significantly, RCB made a great start to the tournament by defeating Mumbai Indians in their first match this season. After this, the RCB team slowed down. That thing was not visible even in the performance. In the coming times, the matches against RCB will be necessary.
