‘Patidar Has Worked Incredibly Hard With Karthik And Flower’: Bobat
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru director of cricket Mo Bobat credited Rajat Patidar’s hard work with batting coach Dinesh Karthik and head coach Andy Flower after the RCB captain produced a stunning unbeaten 93 to help the defending champions reach their second consecutive IPL final.
Patidar’s explosive knock powered RCB to a record-breaking 254/5 against Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 before the bowlers completed a dominant 92-run victory at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday.
“He’s worked incredibly hard on his game with both DK (Dinesh Karthik) and Andy Flower,” Bobat said in the post-match press conference. “One thing about Rajat is that he middles the ball a lot. Whether it’s pace or spin, front foot or back foot, the ball often hits the middle of his bat. That’s usually a very good sign. He has really strong basics and a fearless intent. Over the last couple of years, we’ve tried hard to make that the identity of our team,” he added.
