I really like his attitude – Rajat Patidar on Venkatesh Iyer’s willingness to adapt

Venkatesh Iyer has been an absolute force for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last couple of games. With scores of 73* against Punjab Kings and 44 from just 19 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in RCB’s last group stage encounter, Iyer continues to be a major boost for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

His teammate in the domestic circuit, Rajat Patidar opened up on how extraordinary Venkatesh Iyer is. He shed light on their childhood connection while heaping praise on Iyer's ability to thrive under pressure.

Talking at the pre-match presser ahead of RCB vs GT in the first qualifier, Patidar said, “I know Venky from childhood and the way he presents himself is extraordinary. The way he plays in any given situation and his flexibility in the batting order, I really like his attitude.”

Patidar further added, “He was preparing himself even when he wasn’t getting opportunities. The work he put in during nets and the way he communicated showed he was ready, and as soon as he got the opportunity, he cashed in.”
