Rajat comes in and plays with freedom, real cool, calm, composure about him: Faf du Plessis

Faf du Plessis would put up a fine display against the Sunrisers Hyderabad where Rajat Patidar put up a mature show with the bat that would stabilize RCB’s ship after the early departure of Virat Kohli.

This is the third consecutive game where the youngster has put up a valiant show, steadying the ship and allowing Faf to go for the big hits towards the end. RCB’s reliability on youngsters has been a major boost for the side and they continue to impress with every passing game.

Faf would talk vehemently about Rajat Patidar as he said, “He’s been a great addition. There are some fantastic young batters around in our set-up. Even someone like Suyash who played three games probably didn’t go the way he would like to. There is some real challenge there. Rajat comes in and plays with freedom, real cool, calm, composure about him. That is always really good trait for youngsters to have.”

The RCB skipper would then shift his attention towards Mahipal Lomror, saying, “Mahipal is another young bowler coming into the team. We are lucky that we have some real good Indian batting talent.”
