2nd Test: Waiting For So Long Is Common In Indian Cricket, Says Rajat Patidar After Debut Innings
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: India’s debutant batter Rajat Patidar looked very solid in his innings of 32 off 72 balls, before becoming one of the six batters to fall on Day One of the second Test at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Patidar was drafted into the India squad after Virat Kohli pulled out due to personal reasons. But with K.L Rahul out of the second Test due to right quadriceps pain, there was an opening for a specialist batter in the playing eleven. Patidar got the nod ahead of Sarfaraz Khan to make his Test debut and received his cap from former India left-arm fast-bowler Zaheer Khan.
In his knock, he thrilled fans by reverse-sweeping and driving inside-out against Joe Root for boundaries. Patidar, 30, is a late bloomer and gave an assured look as a specialist batter in the red-ball format before falling in an unusual fashion. The ball went behind after he defended it with soft hands against leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed in the 72nd over and hit the stumps.
