There was a lot of discussion about captaincy in the unofficial Test series between India A and South Africa A. After being out for almost three months due to injury, Pant returned to cricket with this series. Apart from this, he also got injured in the second Test match and was out for some time. Although Pant’s injury was not serious and he made a quick comeback, this series has kept a star Indian batsman out of action for almost four months. The name of this player is Rajat Patidar, who will now be out of cricket for some time due to injury. Patidar injured earlier too. A report has revealed that stylish batsman Rajat Patidar got injured in the first test match between India A and South Africa A. Due to this injury he will not be able to take part in the second test. Now an update has come out on Patidar’s injury. According to this, he will not be able to play cricket for about 4 months. Patidar scored only 19 and 28 runs in both the innings of this match. Patidar’s injury will hurt Team India, as he is not part of the Indian team for the Test series against South Africa. Big blow to Madhya Pradesh. This will have a big impact on his state team Madhya Pradesh. Patidar is the captain of his Madhya Pradesh team. He scored a brilliant century in the first match of the Ranji Trophy 2025-06 season. Due to this injury, he will not be able to play the remaining matches of Ranji Trophy at present. Also, Madhya Pradesh will be without its captain in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting in late November. Whereas he will also not be able to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy starting at the end of December. IPL will return from 2026. If Patidar remains out till February, then there is little possibility of him playing in the second half of the Ranji Trophy season. In such a situation, this 32-year-old star batsman will make a direct comeback from the 2026 IPL season, where he will captain the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Under Patidar’s captaincy, Bangalore won its first title last season. Therefore, Bangalore will hope that its captain returns fully fit so that the team can defend its title.
