Divya Delhi: RCB's in-form captain Rajat Patidar got injured, a big setback. His injury occurred during the team's previous game against CSK on the day the league halted play. The IPL 2025 will continue on Saturday, May 17, after being postponed owing to western border tensions between India and Pakistan. The league's much-anticipated return to play begins with RCB and KKR's high-octane match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Rajat is good. After a hand injury, he's slowly recovering. The disruption (IPL halt due to Indo-Pak border tension) likely provided him a few additional days to recuperate, reduce swelling, and get acclimated to batting again. Last few days of practice have gone well, Bobat said during the pre-match press conference. Patidar has scored crucial runs in the middle order for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL. His greatest score is 64 and his total is 239 in 11 innings. He consistently strikes the ball at 140.59, demonstrating he can score runs swiftly when needed. RCB has benefited by his 23.90 average and two half-centuries under pressure. Patidar is a key part in RCB's batting order despite not scoring a hundred this year.
