Results for: Playoff Hopes
Rajat Patidar has been a key contributor to Royal Challengers Bangalore’s turnaround in the second half of the season, amassing 320 runs in 11 innings with five half-centuries. Patidar’s form has helped RCB win five consecutive matches, keeping their playoff hopes alive. The Madhya Pradesh batter’s impressive cover drive and six-hitting abilities have drawn comparisons to Virat Kohli from former Australian pacer Brett Lee. RCB, currently tied with Delhi Capitals on 12 points, need a win against Chennai Super Kings in their final league match to secure a playoff spot.
