RCB's Rajat Patidar likely to miss first half of IPL 2023

Royal Challengers Bangalore's star batter Rajat Patidar is doubtful for at least the first half of the upcoming season due to a heel injury. Patidar had an impressive outing for RCB in IPL 2022. He finished the IPL 2022 as the third-highest run-scorer for RCB, behind du Plessis and Kohli, scoring 333 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 152.75.
