Ab De Villiers reveals how Rajat Patidar can retain his spot in XI, impress Rohit Sharma

Ab De Villiers reckons Rajat Patidar will thrive in the current Indian team despite failures in the ongoing IND vs ENG Test series

Former Proteas skipper Ab De Villiers suggests a way in which Rajat Patidar could save his spot in India XI. The batter has failed to create any waves since making his debut in the ongoing IND vs ENG Test series. The absence of KL Rahul from the IND vs ENG 5th Test means Rajat Patidar gets an extended stay. 

ABD’s advice for Rajat Patidar

“Rajat Patidar not having the series of a lifetime or the one to remember. But the good thing about this Indian team and the culture is that you will survive in that side because of the great cricket they are playing and the results coming their way,” de Villiers said on his YouTube channel.

If Patidar’s attitude is catchy and if he is a likable character in the dressing room, Rohit and the selection panel will have the ability to say, ‘Hold on, we do believe this guy has a future and we see him as a part of the team moving forward. Even though he hasn’t been scoring runs, let’s give him a longer run‘,” he added.
