IND VS ENG 2024: 3 players who can replace Virat Kohli for first two Test matches

2) Rajat Patidar

Rajat Patidar is another contender to replace Virat Kohli in the squad. He is a great talent who makes batting look effortless. He also has great numbers in the domestic circuit to back his case.

Unfortunately, his career has been full of injuries which worked as a hindrance to his growth. However, he is now fully fit and looked in great touch in the recent matches he played.

Patidar broke into Team India’s ODI squad multiple times before finally making his debut this year against the Proteas, where he scored 22 off 16 balls. The think tank may look to groom him for the future.
