KKR vs RCB: RCB Suffer Big Blow As Rajat Patidar Gets Ruled Out Of The IPL 2023 Due To Achilles Heel Injury

In what has been the latest development, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have suffered a major blow as star batter Rajat Patidar has been ruled out of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rajat Patidar was in doubt for the league even before the tournament kickstarted as he was nursing a heel injury. He joined the RCB’s camp for the season which raised hopes for many fans that he will play some games in the IPL 2023.

Patidar underwent MRI scans for the injury he suffered and it can be assumed that the reports of the scans haven’t been good and that’s why he has been deemed unfit to play. He recently was seen undergoing sessions at the NCA and it was expected that he’ll get fit by the second half of the season.
