IPL 2023: Rajat Patidar of Royal Challengers Bangalore may miss some matches of IPL due to ankle injury. Although official information has not been received yet, but according to a report by ESPN Cricinfo, Rajat Patidar is going to miss at least the first half of the IPL.

Patidar is currently recovering from his injury at the NCA in Bangalore. He has been advised rest for the next three weeks. After that MRI scan will tell whether he will be able to play in the second part of IPL or not. However, by posting a photo of Rajat, RCB has tried to show that he is getting fit fast.

Who will bat at number-3

Patidar was one of the best batsmen for RCB in the last IPL season. He scored 333 runs in 7 innings at an average of 56 and a strike rate of 153. Patidar batted at number-3 for Asaribi last season. Let us tell you who can bat at number-3 for Asaribi this season if he is not in the team.

Virat Kohli

The first number in this list is of Virat Kohli. If Faf du Plessis opens the batting with Anuj Rawat or Suyash Prabhudeshai, then Virat Kohli can play at his favorite position i.e. at number-3.

Mahipal Lomror

RCB can give a chance to play a left-handed Indian batsman in the form of Mahipal at number-3. In this situation, Virat can go down to open with Faf.

Suyash Prabhudeshai

This player made his IPL debut against CSK last year. Coming at number-6, Suyesh played a blistering inning of 34 runs in 18 balls. In the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Suyyash batted brilliantly. In such a situation, if Virat opens, then RCB can try this player also at number-3.
