Rajat Patidar’s start to IPL 2024 has been hampered by inconsistency with his batting position, regularly being moved up and down the order as RCB continue to search for their best combination. So far in IPL 2024, no batting side’s No.3-5 batters have a lower average than RCB’s, who have collectively averaged just under 16 with the bat.

Rajat Patidar, batting at No.4, has two of RCB’s three highest scores in the 3-5 spots, with 50(26) vs MI and 55(32) during their last encounter at Eden Gardens.

Patidar has been a noticeably slow starter this season, striking at just 109 inside his opening 10 deliveries, however when he’s set he kicks on quickly, striking at over 200.

Thereafter, a trade-off RCB may have to live with for now.

Patidar’s pace/spin splits are perhaps also a concern, with 5 of his 7 dismissals coming against pace, something Cummins will be looking to exploit today in the Middle Overs.
