KL Rahul out of fourth test : The fourth test match between India and England will be played in Ranchi from 23 February. Earlier, BCCI had informed that Jasprit Bumrah has been rested from the fourth Test match and KL Rahul will not be able to participate in this match due to injury. KL Rahul will get a chance in the fifth test match only after proving his fitness. Meanwhile, this is good news for young player Rajat Patidar, because he is going to get another chance to prove his ability.
Rajat Patidar will get a chance in place of KL Rahul
When KL Rahul got injured, Rajat Patidar got a chance to debut in the second test match. Rajat Patidar, who played at number four, could not do anything special in Visakhapatnam and then was seen struggling in the third Test match played on the flat pitch of Rajkot. He has scored a total of 46 runs in four innings. However, the good thing is that now he may not be dropped from the team, because if KL Rahul is not there in the fourth test, then he will be hopeful of getting another chance.
Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara may return in the next series.
If Rajat Patidar fails to perform well in the fourth Test, he will be out of the fifth Test and his name will hardly be considered for the upcoming Test series, as are Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara for the upcoming series. There may be a return. In such a situation, Rajat Patidar will not be able to save his chair. Apart from this, Sarfaraz Khan has performed brilliantly in his debut match. Due to which there is more hope that Sarfaraz Khan will get a chance in place of Rajat Patidar.
