Rajat Patidar undergoes successful surgery, thanks fans for their wishes and prayers

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have received good news as their batter Rajat Patidar has successfully undergone a surgical procedure, following his unfortunate withdrawal from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. Patidar, who was a standout performer for RCB in the previous season, was forced to miss this year’s tournament due to injury, leaving a significant void in the team’s middle order. 

Out of action because of heel injury

The loss of Patidar, who was one of RCB’s brightest prospects, has undoubtedly been a major blow for the franchise, as the franchise has struggled to find a suitable Number 3 all through the season. However, the successful surgery is a ray of hope for Patidar and RCB fans alike, as it indicates that he is on the road to a full recovery.

On the 5th of April, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) delivered a disheartening update to fans, revealing that their star batter Rajat Patidar would be unable to participate in the IPL 2023 season due to a heel injury. Despite undergoing rehabilitation at the prestigious National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, it was ultimately determined through a series of medical evaluations that Patidar would not be able to join the franchise for the second half of the season, delivering a significant blow to RCB’s batting lineup. 

Official update

However, Patidar took to his official Instagram account to share an uplifting update on his condition, accompanied by a photo of himself resting comfortably on a hospital bed. In his caption, he expressed his gratitude to his supporters, stating that his surgery for the long-standing injury had been successful and that he was now on the path to recovery. 

“Just wanted to give a quick update to all my supporters out there. I recently underwent surgery for an injury that has been troubling me for a while now, but I’m happy to say that it went well and I’m on the road to recovery! I can’t wait to get back out there on the field and do what I love the most. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, they mean the world to me. Back, soon!”, Patidar wrote
