Rajat Patidar opens up on earning India Test call-up: 'Felt very good to get that call'

With KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja ruled out due to injury issues, Rajat Patidar could very well make his Test debut in the second game against England. Patidar, who was part of the India squad for the first match, had to wait for his Test debut as the hosts decided to proceed with KL Rahul at No 4 in absence of Virat Kohli. But with Rahul now injured, Team India management is expected to include Patidar in the playing XI for the second Test scheduled to start on February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Ahead of the second game, Patidar expressed his feelings and emotions during a discussion with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

BCCI shared a video of Patidar’s interaction on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. “Bouncing back after injury. Emotions on maiden Test call-up. Learnings from Captain Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli. In conversation with Rajat Patidar ahead of the 2nd IND vs ENG Test,” read the post shared by BCCI.
