BENGALURU: RCB’s main batsman Rajat Patidhar has been ruled out due to injury, and the RCB management has roped in 140 kmph bowler Vaisak Vijaykumar to replace him. Let’s see who is that Vaishak Vijaykumar.
The IPL cricket series for the 16th season is being held briskly. The Bengaluru team won the first match by defeating the Mumbai team. But in the second match, RCB suffered a heavy defeat against Kolkata. This is attributed to the weakness of the middle order.
In the absence of veteran Rajat Patidar, the build has relied on Maxwell and Bracewell. Due to this, if Virat Kohli and Du Plessis get wickets, the opponents plan to bring the Bengaluru team under control. In this situation, the Bengaluru team has signed a bowler named Vaisak Vijaykumar to replace Rajat Patidar.
This is due to the inconsistent performance of Siraj, Harsal Patel and Akash Deep. Because Akash Deep who played in two matches gave away 59 runs in 5 overs and lost only one wicket. Similarly, Harsal Patel has bowled 7 overs and conceded 81 runs so far. With slower balls being his only weapon, batsmen can easily bowl Herzel.
As a result, Bengaluru has signed Vaisak Vijaykumar, who plays for the Karnataka Ranji team. Vijay Kumar, who has played 14 first-class T20 cricket matches so far, has taken 22 wickets. Similarly, the economy rate is only 6.92. Various former players have also said that Natarajan is especially good at bowling death overs. Because Syed Mushtaq is the second highest wicket taker for Karnataka in the series.
Thus it is said that Vaishak Vijaykumar will be the perfect replacement for Akash Deep. Similarly, because Vijaykumar has the ability to bowl at a speed of 140 km per hour, the RCB management has signed a bowler instead of a batsman. As a result, it is said that there is a possibility that RCB will be introduced in the IPL series soon.
