Rajat Patidar claims betrayal by RCB during IPL mega auction ...Middle East

Rajat Patidar joined Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2022 IPL season as a replacement for the injured Luvnith Sisodia. The middle-order batter played a pivotal role for the team, including a match-winning unbeaten 112 runs in the victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator clash.

“I had got a message (ahead of the mega auction for IPL 2022) that you be ready... that we will pick you. I had a little hope that I would get another chance (to play for RCB). But I wasn't picked in the mega auction. I was a little sad,” Patidar said on the RCB Podcast.

I Didn’t Want to Come as a Replacement - Rajat Patidar

Rajat Patidar shared that he received a second opportunity when RCB called him up as an injury replacement for Luvnith Sisodia. However, Patidar admitted he wasn’t thrilled about joining the squad as a backup.

“I wasn't angry. It was like if they didn't pick me (during the auction), then I won't get it (get to play). I was angry for a while but then I was normal,” he recalled.

I Was a Bit Worried About How to Take It - Rajat Patidar

“When he was giving it to me, I was a bit worried about how to take it. I was completely blank... Then he said a couple of words like, 'You deserve it, you earned it'. So I felt a little bit okay... I think that was a special moment.”

They are just one win away from sealing a playoff spot, having secured eight victories in 11 games. With three matches remaining, the team will also be aiming for a top-two finish. Patidar needs to regain form and lead the side with the bat.
