This will be the fifth time Rajat will join the RCB squad as a batsman. His IPL career has been a very short one with just 4 innings to his credit in which he scored a total of 71 runs. However, Rajat has played a total of 31 T20s for Madhya Pradesh where he scored a total of 861 runs with the help of 7 half-centuries.

Considering his cricketing career, Rajat could be a stable addition to the top order of the Bangalore-based franchise in IPL 2022. However, it will depend upon the team management that will define the right role for the right-hand batter, making it interesting to see how many games he gets to play this year.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has so far played three matches in this season of IPL, out of which they lost one match against Punjab Kings and won two matches against Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. After an unstable start in the tournament, it will be crucial to see, how the management makes changes in the upcoming matches.
